Cucurbita pepo is phenotypically the most polymorphic species of the genus 4 , containing eight edible-fruited groups of cultivars (Groups), also known as fruit-shape morphotypes, with fruit shape being a polygenically inherited trait that changes little during fruit growth and is of utmost consumer importance 5 .
