GWAS Reveals a Novel Candidate Gene in Pumpkin () Involved in Resistance to Powdery Mildew.

Pumpkin ( Duchesne ex Poir.) is a multipurpose cash crop rich in antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins; the seeds are also a good source of quality oils. However, pumpkin is susceptible to the fungus , an obligate biotrophic pathogen, which usually causes powdery mildew (PM) on both sides of the leaves and reduces photosynthesis.

Identification of an Allelic Variant of the Gene Controlling Fruit Endocarp Color in Cucumber ( L.) Using Genotyping-By-Sequencing (GBS) and Whole-Genome Sequencing.

The cucumber is a major vegetable crop around the world. Fruit flesh color is an important quality trait in cucumber and flesh color mainly depends on the relative content of β-carotene in the fruits. The β-carotene serves as a precursor of vitamin A, which has dietary benefits for human health.
