The present invention provides a squash plant having an especially small seed cavity, and a method for producing the squash plant. The present invention provides a method for producing a small seed cavity squash plant that includes developing, from the progeny of an F1 seed obtained by crossing a Cucurbita maxima and a Cucurbita moschata, a small seed cavity squash plant in which the proportion of the volume of the seed cavity relative to the fruit volume is 15% or less, and also provides a small seed cavity squash plant that is a small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima plant having, within the nuclear genome, a gene associated with a small seed cavity trait of a plant of the genus Cucurbita, or a hybrid plant obtained using the small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima plant as a parent, or a progeny of either of these plants.
A small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima squash plant including a small seed cavity trait in which the volume of seed cavity relative to fruit volume is 15% or less, and
A portion of the plant body of the small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima squash plant, representative seeds of the small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima squash plant having been deposited under accession number FERM BP-22402, wherein the portion produces a small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima squash plant including a small seed cavity trait in which the volume of seed cavity relative to fruit volume is 15% or less.
A seed of a small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima squash plant, wherein representative seeds of the small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima squash plant have been deposited under accession number FERM BP-22402, and wherein the seed produces a small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima squash plant including a small seed cavity trait in which the volume of seed cavity relative to fruit volume is 15% or less.
