Diversity of landraces of the white-flowered gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) and its wild relatives in Kenya: fruit and seed morphology

2005-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Kenyan landraces of the cultivated white-flowered gourd Lagenaria siceraria have highly variable morphology. In order to reveal the inter- and intra-specific variation in fruit and seed morphology in L. siceraria and its wild relatives in Kenya, various traits were examined in a total of 425 strains from L. siceraria (269), Lagenaria sphaerica (124), Lagenaria abyssinica (27) and Lagenaria breviflora (5). Data ana...
