Partial sequencing of the bottle gourd genome reveals markers useful for phylogenetic analysis and breeding

BMC Genomics, 2011
Background Bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl.] is an important cucurbit crop worldwide. Archaeological research indicates that bottle gourd was domesticated more than 10,000 years ago, making it one of the earliest plants cultivated by man.

Osmotic dehydration of bottle gourd (Legeneria siceraria) [PDF]

International Journal of Chemical Studies, 2020
Osmotic dehydration of fruits and vegetables an effective method for preservation. The Bottle gourd (Legeneria siceraria) belongs to Cucurbitaceous family. Average composition of fresh bottle gourd is constituted by water (96.0%), carbohydrates (2.5%), fibre (0.6%), proteins (0.2%) and calcium (20mg).

Transoceanic drift and the domestication of African bottle gourds in the Americas [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance Bottle gourd, one of the most cross-culturally ubiquitous crops, had a pan-tropical distribution by the beginning of the Holocene. Our findings overturn a major component of the current model for bottle gourd’s early global dispersal, specifically regarding how it entered the Americas.

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus: A persistent seed‐borne threat to cucurbits

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a highly stable, seed‐borne tobamovirus that threatens global cucurbit production. Its efficient mechanical and seed transmission, long‐term environmental persistence, and the spread of Clade II CGMMV isolates drive its rapid dissemination and cause severe yield losses.

Association of Qualitative Characters With Agronomic Traits, and Their Breeding Importance in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus)

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT There is a paucity of available information on lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) qualitative traits and their associations with agronomic traits, despite such information being essential for the selection of best genotypes. Hence, this study was undertaken to evaluate relationship among qualitative and agronomic traits, and to explore the ...
