a. Left, plant of ‘Kompokolokytho’ summer squash. Note its bush growth habit, dark stem, spiculate petioles, unusually large pistillate-flower corolla, and the initial young fruit of light-medium green having vegetable marrow (short, tapered cylindrical) shape; right, close-up view of older ‘Kompokolokytho’ plant. Note the basal braching and the young fruit of light-medium green having cocozelle (long, bulbous cylindrical) shape. b Artist’s rendition of ‘Kompokolokytho’ summer squash indicating schematically the 16 plant tissues sampled for the RNA-seq atlas. A = primary root, B = lateral root, C = shoot, D = stem of leaves, E = young leaf, F = fully developed leaf, G = male flower, H = female flower, I = seed, J–P = eight developmental stages of fruit [2DAP (days after pollination); 7DAP; 10DAP; 15DAP; 20DAP; 30DAP; 40DAP-ripe fruit]
