Anthesis in pistillate and staminate flowers of butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata)
Floral synchrony, understood as the coincidence of floral opening of pistillate and staminate flowers, allows the reproductive success of plants that require cross-pollination, that is, allogamous plants. Therefore, the objective of the research was to determine the anthesis of staminate flowers. and pollen reception in pistillate flowers in four (4) populations of butternut squash C. moschata with five (5) repetitions and five (5) plants per repetition, under a completely randomized design. It was identified that populations with a high degree of inbreeding increase the availability of pistillate and staminate flowers, therefore, the availability of crossings.
