Toward an art of genomic selection in vegetable breeding

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is a powerful strategy for accelerating genetic gain in plant breeding. While in recent years GS has been widely adopted in breeding programs for agronomic crops, its implementation in vegetable breeding has been comparatively limited.

Cucurbitane-type Triterpenes from Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Seeds [PDF]

Natural Product Communications, 2013
Two new cucurbitane-type triterpenes, 24-hydroperoxycucurbita-5,25-dien-3β-ol (1) and 25-hydroperoxycucurbita-5,23-dien-3β-ol (2), were isolated from a MeOH extract of Citrullus lanatus seeds. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities with IC50 values of 33.4–52.4 μM against HL-60 (human leukemia), P388 (murine leukemia), and L1210 ...

Population‐specific germination and physiochemical responses of Aeluropus lagopoides seeds to salinity under controlled conditions

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our findings show significant population‐specific variations in the germination and physiochemical responses of Aeluropus lagopoides seeds to salinity stress. Seeds from both populations were nondormant, as they germinated maximally in water; however, those from the more saline and drier Hawke's Bay habitat exhibited enhanced salt tolerance, higher ...
