The most recent complete gene list for Cucurbita species was published in CGC Rpt. 15:102-109 (1992). The following update includes only additions to that gene list and revisions of previous gene symbols. Before publishing a proposed new gene symbol for a Cucurbita species, researchers are urged to consult the gene lists in CGC 15 and CGC 19 in order to avoid using a symbol already assigned to another gene.

| fv | - | fused vein; fusion of primary leaf veins | pepo | 2 |
| gl | - | glabrous, lacking trichomes | maxima | 4 |
| *I-mc | (Imc) | Inhibitor of mature fruit color | pepo | 3 |
| 1-1St | (St) | Striped fruit allele of the light fruiit color gene | pepo | 7 |
| mldg | - | mottled light and dark green immature fruit | moschata | 1 |
| *ms-3 | (ms-2) | male sterile-3 | maxima | 4 |
| *n-2 | - | naked seeds-2 | moschata | 10 |
| pl | - | plain light fruit color | pepo | 8 |
| sp | - | spaghetti flesh, breaking into strands after cooling | pepo | 8 |
| we | - | white corolla | maxima | 5 |
| wyc | - | white-yellow corolla | maxima | 5 |
| yg | - | yellow-green leaves and stems | maxima | 4 |
