Genetic Analysis in Segregating Generation of Wax Gourd

International Journal of Vegetable Science, 2014
Wax gourd, commonly called ash gourd in India [Benincasa hispida (Thunb.) Cogn.], has a long storage life and value can be added after processing. Though there is variation in wax gourd traits, especially fruit characters, little work has been done related to genotype variability.

Characterization and chromosomal organization of Ty1-copia retrotransposons in wax gourd

Gene, 2014
Wax gourd (2n=2x=24) is an important vegetable species in Cucurbitaceae. Because it can be stored for a very long period of time, it plays an important role in ensuring the annual supply and regulating off-season supply of the vegetables. However, the availability of genetic information about wax gourd is limited.

Gourds: Bitter, Bottle, Wax, Snake, Sponge and Ridge

2016
Bitter gourd, bottle gourd, wax gourd, snake gourd, sponge gourd, and ridge gourd are cultivated and marketed by smallholder farmers, and are important crops in home gardens throughout southern and southeastern Asia. These vegetables provide significant dietary nutrients such as vitamin A and C, iron and calcium.

All‐Carbon Electrode Directly Derived from Wax Gourd for Supercapacitor

physica status solidi (a), 2019
Here an efficient preparation of porous carbon monolith by freeze drying of wax gourd and following carbonization without any activating processes is reported. The obtained porous carbon monolith features high specific surface area, low density, and excellent mechanical strength.

Serine Proteinase Inhibitor from Wax Gourd (Benincasa hispida[Thunb] Cogn.) Seeds

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2006
Two squash family protease inhibitors were obtained from wax gourd (Benicasa hispida [Thunb] Cogn.). Even though they were distinctly separated by reversed-phase chromatography, the amino acid sequences of two inhibitors were identical. Both inhibitors were converted into each other, perhaps due to cis-trans isomerization of characteristic Pro in the C-

Bio-protective potential of lactic acid bacteria isolated from fermented wax gourd

Folia Microbiologica, 2012
The antifungal activities of 85 lactic acid bacteria strains isolated from fermented wax gourd against the four fungal species, Penicillium oxalicum, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus sydowii, and Mucor racemosus, were determined. Inhibitory activity against at least one or more fungal species was observed with 27 Weissella cibaria and 11 Weissella ...

Benincasa hispida cv- gr. Wax Gourd

2011
Origin of this wax gourd is uncertain but Indo China and India are deemed to be the centres of greatest diversity. Wax gourd is not known in the wild and is usually cultivated. It is extensively cultivated in Southern China and southeast Asia.

Synthesis of a three-dimensional interconnected carbon nanorod aerogel from wax gourd for amperometric sensing

Microchimica Acta, 2018
The authors describe a method for synthesis of a three-dimensional (3D) interconnected carbon nanorod aerogel (3D-ICNA) starting from wax gourd (Benincasa hispida) which is a low-cost biomass. The 3D-ICNA possesses unique 3D interconnected and porous nanostructure, with abundant edge-plane-like defective sites, a large specific surface area (823 m2 g-1)

Genetic analysis and QTL mapping of fruit-related traits in wax gourd (Benincasa hispida)

Euphytica, 2018
As an important fruit vegetable, fruit-related traits have become one of the breeding hotspots of wax gourd (Benincasa hispida). The fruit traits have an important role on the quality and yield of wax gourd, and QTL mapping of these traits will provide solid basis for fruit character improvement as well as high-yield breeding.
