 note = {Exploration for collecting genetic resources of vegetable plants focused on Cucurbitaceous and Solanaceous plants in Kenya was undertaken from 9 th September to 2 nd October. This exploration was carried out as collaborative research with KARI (Kenya Agricultural Research Institute). The exploration trip route and itinerary are shown in Fig. 1 and Table 1, respectively. The area explored was comprises five distinguished regions, Rift valley, the Southwest, the South, central region, and coastal region facing the Indian Ocean. Flora and vegetation varied among regions according to differences in geography and climate. The vegetation in Rift Valley and the South was generally poor because of drought. In the southwest around Lake Victoria, and the central region around Mt. Kenya had higher precipitation, the vegetation was rich, and many kinds of crop were grown. The total number of collected samples was 249, and seed samples of 239 accessions were introduced into Japan. The collected accessions consisted of 140 of Cucurbitaceae, 59 of Solanaceae, 3 of Cruciferae, 6 of Amaranthaceae, 14 of Leguminosae, 2 of Malvaceae and others (Table 2). Of the Cucurbitaceous species, broad diversity in Lagenaria siceraria and Cucurbita moschata were found, and some wild species belonged to genus Cucumis were collected. Of the Solanaceous species, tomato and sweet pepper were commonly cultivated, but the number of cultivar was a few. Solanum gilo and S. macrocarpon were field grown, and some wild species belonged to genus Solanum were also collected. In leafy vegetable, skuma (probably Brassica oleracea), amaranthus (Amaranthus mangostanus), Solanum nigram and spinach (chard, Beta vulgaris) were found, but seed sample of skuma and spinach could not collected because it was not the season for seed maturing. The great diversity was observed among Leguminosae crops.},
