Abstract: Current application of large number of commercial bottle gourd cultivars with very high genetic similarity has caused many disputes on seed quality. To provide a rapid, precise and reliable method for bottle gourd seed purity assay, we developed a set of SSR markers based on DNA sequences obtained from highthroughput sequencing. Eight of these markers were defined as diagnostic markers by genotyping a collection of 44 bottle gourd genotypes. Based on this, a rapid and precise SSRbased procedure as well as standard DNA fingerprints for bottle gourd seed quality survey was established, which will be beneficial for the industrialization of bottle gourd seeds.

Key words: bottle gourd, SSR, purity survey, genetic fingerprinting
