Bottle gourd genome provides insight on evolutionary history and genetic relationships of cucurbit crops – Boyce Thompson Institute
Researchers from the Boyce Thompson Institute (BTI), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and collaborators in China and France have produced the first high-quality genome sequence for the bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) and a reconstructed genome of the most recent Cucurbitaceae ancestor.
CucCAP Bioinformatics team | comparative genomic analysis identifies relationships between bottle gourd and other cucurbits
Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) is an important vegetable crop as well as a rootstock for other cucurbit crops.
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV)
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus is a plant pathogenic virus. This virus was first discovered in Europe between 1965 and 1975. Watermelon and melon are susceptible to this virus.
