Chayote is the Nahuatl name used in many parts of Latin America for the cultivated
species Sechium edule (Jacq.) Swartz. Its variable fruits, as well as its roots, have been
important elements in the diet of the people living in these and other areas of the
world. However, as is the case with many other crops, in spite of the fact that chayote
is widespread and is an important export crop for some Latin American countries,
much still needs to be learned about it. More information is needed on the
biological characteristics of this crop, on how to improve it, and how it is related to
wild species of the genus, as well as how to conserve its genetic resources.
