Bottle gourd is an annual herbaceous plant that not only has high nutritional value and many medicinal applications but is also used as a rootstock for the grafting of cucurbit crops such as watermelon, cucumber and melon. Organellar genomes provide valuable resources for genetic breeding. A hybrid...
