A chromosome-level reference genome of the wax gourd (Benincasa hispida). [PDF]

Sci Data, 2023
AbstractThe wax gourd (Benincasa hispida), the only species in the genus Benincasa, is an important crop native to Asia that has been widely planted for multi-purpose uses. The first wax gourd draft genome was published three years ago, but it was incomplete and highly-fragmented due to data and technical limitations. Herein, we report a new chromosome-

Identification and Application of BhAPRR2 Controlling Peel Colour in Wax Gourd (Benincasa hispida). [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2021
Peel color is an important factor affecting commodity quality in vegetables; however, the genes controlling this trait remain unclear in wax gourd. Here, we used two F2genetic segregation populations to explore the inheritance patterns and to clone the genes associated with green and white skin in wax gourd. The F2and BC1trait segregation ratios were 3:

Fine mapping of the major gene BhHLS1 controlling seed size in wax gourd (Benincasa hispida). [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2023
Introduction/BackgroundThe seed size of wax gourds is an important agronomic trait; however, the associated genes have not yet been reported.MethodsIn this study, we used a high-density genetic map constructed based on F8 recombinant inbred line populations derived from a cross between MY-1 (large seed) and GX-71 (small seed) strains to detect ...

Stability, permeation, and cytotoxicity reduction of capsicum extract nanoparticles loaded hydrogel containing wax gourd extract. [PDF]

Saudi Pharm J, 2020
The aim of this study was to develop hydrogel loaded with capsicum extract nanoparticles and wax gourd extract for transdermal delivery of capsaicin. The addition of wax gourd extract was supposed to reduce cytotoxicity of capsaicin in capsicum extract against HaCaT keratinocyte cell line.

The wax gourd genomes offer insights into the genetic diversity and ancestral cucurbit karyotype. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2019
AbstractThe botanical family Cucurbitaceae includes a variety of fruit crops with global or local economic importance. How their genomes evolve and the genetic basis of diversity remain largely unexplored. In this study, we sequence the genome of the wax gourd (Benincasa hispida), which bears giant fruit up to 80 cm in length and weighing over 20 kg ...

The GA and ABA signaling is required for hydrogen-mediated seed germination in wax gourd. [PDF]

BMC Plant Biol
Abstract Background Hydrogen gas (H2), a novel and beneficial gaseous molecule, plays a significant role in plant growth and development processes. Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) is regarded as a safe and easily available way to study the physiological effects of H2 on plants.
