QTL mapping reveals candidate genes for main agronomic traits in Luffa based on a high-resolution genetic map [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Luffa is an important medicinal and edible vegetable crop of Cucurbitaceae. Strong heterosis effects and strikingly complementary characteristics were found between the two domesticated Luffa cultivars, Luffa acutangula and Luffa cylindrica.

A high-density SNP linkage map reveals a major LG3 QTL hotspot controlling early-maturity–related traits in ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula) [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionEarly maturity is an important breeding target in ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula), but its genetic basis remains poorly understood.MethodsAn F2 population of 147 plants was developed from a cross between two parental lines contrasting in early

A novel approach to sustainable water treatment utilising Cocos nucifera and Luffa acutangula

Desalination and Water Treatment
Water quality depends on Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), an indicator of harmful pollutants in the water. Therefore, the primary goal of the study is to eliminate TDS utilising the new Cocos nucifera and Luffa acutangula natural filtering technique.

Augmentation of freshwater productivity in single slope solar still using Luffa acutangula fibres

Water Science and Technology, 2021
The prime intention of the current research is to enhance the freshwater productivity of the solar still (SS) by using Luffa acutangula fibres (LAF). The dried LA fibres were introduced into the absorber basin of a solar still to enhance the wet surface ...
