Acknowledgment
The authors express gratitude to the ABCF program at the
Biosciences eastern and central Africa (BecA), Nairobi for
funding and hosting the laboratory work and the National
Commission for Higher Education in Eritrea for funding the
seed collection of the germplasm used in the study and the
overall research program. Deep gratitude also to the World
Vegetable Centre (AVRDC) for providing reference germplasm
and SSR markers, Kenyan Agricultural and Animal Research
Organization (KALRO), Nairobi, for contributing seed used as
reference, Hamelmalo Agricultural College (HAC) and
National Agricultural Research Institute (NARI) and farmers in
Eritrea for provision of seed used in this study. Staff members
of BecA, Institute for Biotechnology Research, JKUAT,
Hamelmalo Agricultural College and Ministry of Agriculture,
Eritrea for their support and contribution during the different
stages of this work. Finally special thanks to Dr. Robert Skilton
for his support and scientific contribution during the lab work.
