Bitter Gourd Genomic Variation Map for 180 Accessions with Trait Associations

A genomic dataset from whole-genome re-sequencing of 180 bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) accessions, identifying approximately 1.78 million high-quality SNPs. The data includes population structure analysis and genome-wide association study (GWAS) results for four key horticultural yield traits. It was authored by Chengcheng Feng and last updated on April 16, 2026.

Use Cases

• Conducting population genetics analysis based on the identified SNPs and five distinct sub-populations.
• Identifying candidate genes for fruit weight, length, and diameter based on the major pleiotropic region on chromosome MC04.
• Investigating haplotype effects on fruit flesh thickness using the described haplotype partitioning results.
• Mapping trait-specific loci for single fruit weight on MC08 and fruit flesh thickness on MC09.
• Accelerating molecular breeding programs using the provided genomic variation map and candidate gene information.

Strengths

• Contains approximately 1.78 million high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
• Based on whole-genome re-sequencing of 180 accessions with an average coverage of 33.91×.
• Includes phenotypic data and GWAS results for four key horticultural yield traits.
• Haplotype analysis provides specific percentage advantages (e.g., 20.46%—22.68% for single fruit weight).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The geographic origin of the 180 bitter gourd accessions is not specified.
