A diagram showing the compatibility between species in the genus Cucurbita. Source U.C. Davis, Dr. C.F. Quiros.
My research focuses on the bridging species C.lundelliana and its relationship with the 5 cultivated species. It is a misconception that C. maxima will not produce interspecific hybrids. AGs can potentially hybridize with any of the other four cultivated species, and the wild species C.lundelliana. The problem with many of these crosses is F1 sterility.
