Morphological, Biochemical, and Molecular Diversity Assessment of Egyptian Bottle Gourd Cultivars
Table 4
Ten Egyptian bottle gourd cultivars’ protein patterns were examined using SDS-PAGE, their molecular mass in kDa, the occurrence of bands as presence (1) or absence (0), polymorphism band, percentage of polymorphism, and biochemical markers.
Band no.
