Abstract excerpt
Pumpkins (Cucurbita spp.) are among most neglected and underutilized crops cultivated for food and medicine. The major constraint to pumpkin production is lack of genetically improved seeds. The current study was aimed at evaluating the genetic diversity of pumpkins from eight counties in western Kenya using five SSR markers. Seeds were extracted from pumpkin fruits, dried and planted on plastic trays for 4...
