I will never ever listen to his suggestions again," said Neeraj, a resident of Nankpura, Bottle gourd, cucumber, squash, pumpkin and melon can turn lethal if they taste bitter as they have Tetracyclic Triterpenoid Cucurbitacins

The results revealed that stem-derived callus cultured on 2,4-D (2 mg/1) + kin (4 mg/1) produced the highest total cucurbitacins
