Isn't Prelude II is a hybrid, just as the others are in that line.

The GMO squash is out there. Justice 111 is a virus resistant zucchini, and Prelude 11 is a virus resistant crookneck squash. There are lots of others as well, those are the two I could think of right away. I think Asgrow did the original work with squash, and the virus resistant strains.  
These varieties don't yield as well as traditional squash, and the flavor is not there either. I guess if you simply can't grow squash due to virus pressure then you have the option of growing these.  I'd rather grow a squash that tastes the way squash should taste.
