In Russia the genus is mostly presented by 3 following species: winter squash (Cucurbita maxima Duch); acum squash (Cucurbita pero), they include marrow, Pattypan squash; butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata Duch).The research group of the institute has bred cultivars of pumpkin, marrow type and Pattypan squash with high yield and cold resistant abilities, resistant to pathogens.
