Another well-known Moschata species that’s not a regular pumpkin is butternut squash, a tasty and nutritious winter squash you can bake and use in soups. Long Island Cheese is a famous pumpkin pie cultivar of the Moschata cucurbit group. Maxima’s Giant Orange Pumpkins and More Many pumpkins are orange, but yellow, red, blue, grey, white, and green varieties are also easy to find or grow in season. Snow White has small, white-skinned fruit produced on fast-growing plants. Fruits weigh in on average at 3 to 5 lbs.

Gene functions were annotated using the NR, Nt, Pfam, KOG, Swiss-Prot, Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases. Functional enrichment analysis of DEGs In addition to AgNO 3, STS is another ethylene perception inhibitor. In the gynoecious plants of bitter gourd, STS induces the development of hermaphrodite flowers in the staminal tissue of female flowers, and these effects were found to be better than those of low concentrations of AgNO 3 and GA 3 ( Mishra et al., 2015). Foliar sprays of STS induce the production of male organs in female hemp plants ( Lubell and Brand, 2018). Comparative RNA-Seq analysis of untreated and STS-treated female Cannabis sativa revealed that many differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are transcription factors, and several others are involved in male organ development, phytohormone signaling, and male-biased phenotypes associated with masculinization ( Adal et al., 2021). Cinderella pumpkin variety is also called Rouge vif d’Etampes, meaning ‘bright red.’ The 10 to 15 lb. fruits have the flattened shape of the ‘cheese-wheel’ type, reminiscent of Cinderella’s carriage. With smooth orange-red skin and moist flesh, this variety is excellent for decoration and pie-making. The Moschata pumpkins deserve attention if you love pumpkin pie and other baked goods containing pumpkin pulp. Moschatas include the traditional cultivars used in canned pumpkin products and many pumpkin pie recipes.Early Jarrah is another grey-green variety with large, flattened fruit in the 15 to 25 lb. weight range. This variety is a prolific producer and a good keeper.

Here are some popular unusual pumpkin varieties you can find at farmers’ markets, produce stands, and supermarkets. Mixtas make incredible decorations, given how many unusual shapes and different colored pumpkins you can find. Many are also edible.

Abbreviations Cucurbits include a total of around 960 distinct species of plants, including melons, summer squash, cucumbers, winter squash, decorative gourds, and all varieties of pumpkins.

The most reliable silver bars are cult outposts, the locations that you battle to control. Every outpost in Far Cry 5 has silver bars hidden somewhere. They’re typically in a safe, and those safes are often hard to find. Below, we’ll show you the location of the silver bars in each outpost. Find them, and you’ll get 40 silver bars.

Long Island Cheese is a traditional heirloom variety with small to medium-sized fruit, deep-orange flesh, and a tan-orange skin. An excellent keeper, this is a classic pumpkin pie pumpkin. Baby Pam is excellent for pumpkin pie with a smooth-skinned fruit also suitable for painting or carving. You’ll find dark orange inside and outside. Transcriptome analysis revealed that many DEGs between STS-treated and control plants are auxin signaling genes, which are involved in hormone signal transduction pathways, based on KEGG analysis. The application of silver ions can decrease indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) responsiveness and reduce Aux/IAA protein levels, promoting IAA efflux, and this effect is independent of the effects of silver ions on ethylene perception ( Strader et al., 2009). Our results corroborate the results of this previous study, with the application of STS reducing the expression levels of auxin-transporter like protein genes and one auxin influx carrier-like protein gene and significantly decreasing the level of OxIAA. Many ethylene-responsive transcription factors were identified as DEGs; the expression of some of them was downregulated, whereas that of others was upregulated, under STS treatment. The reason for these results might be the fact that different ethylene-responsive transcription factor genes play different roles in the response to STS. As reported, the ERF family genes are involved in the ethylene response in a stress response-dependent or independent manner ( Ohme-Takagi and Shinshi, 1995). Except for hormone signal transduction pathways, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and metabolism pathways were the other predominantly enriched pathways related to the DEGs. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) catalyzes the first rate-limiting step in phenylpropanoid metabolism and provides precursors for a wide range of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and lignins ( Dong et al., 2016). Previous studies have found that PAL has very high specific activity in the anther tapetum, and a reduction in pollen fertility was observed in antisense and sense PAL transgenic tobacco ( Rittscher and Wiermann, 1983; Matsuda et al., 1996). In this study, expression levels of 10 PAL genes were upregulated with STS treatment. These results indicate that PAL might be involved in male flower development. In addition, levels of 13 DEGs involved in plant–pathogen interaction pathways were upregulated, and those of SAG were increased after STS treatment. This could be related to the resistance response of pumpkin plants to silver ion stress during the process of inducing male flowers. Some DEGs, comprising PALs and ERFs might play a dual role in both inducing maleness and responses to silver ion stress. This requires further studies of gene function for confirmation. Thus, the regulatory mechanism of STS in the induction of maleness was found to be very complex. The effects of STS, including the transcriptional level influences of ethylene perception and IAA signaling genes, a series of hormonal interactions ( Iqbal et al., 2017), and the responses to heavy metals (silver ions), might all play indispensable roles in the process of inducing the maleness of pumpkin. Conclusion Blue Lakota, a North American heirloom with shallow ribs and a pear-shape that’s great for pies and steaming.The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. Publisher’s note As the name Maxima implies, this is the group including pumpkins of enormous size, which win prizes at county fairs for size and weight. One-hundred pounders are common in this class, and the weight record for a Dill’s Atlantic Giant Maxima type pumpkin is a whopping 2,323.70 lbs.!
