Genetic diversity and population structure detection in sponge gourd () using ISSR, SCoT and morphological markers.

Investigation of genetic diversity is essential for the selection of parents for crop breeding and conservation of genetic resources. To estimate the genetic variability and population structure in the midst of 45 accessions of sponge gourd brought together from different geographical areas of India, morphological traits and two molecular markers, ISSR and SCoT markers were compared. Principal components analysis of 20 morphological traits showed 72.

Mapping and QTL Analysis of Gynoecy and Earliness in Bitter Gourd ( L.) Using Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) Technology.

A high-density, high-resolution genetic map was constructed for bitter gourd ( L.). A total of 2013 high quality SNP markers binned to 20 linkage groups (LG) spanning a cumulative distance of 2329.
