The genetic basis of cold tolerance in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)-the latest developments and perspectives.

Cold stress is one of the main causes of yield losses in plant production in temperate climate areas. Cold stress slows down and even stops plant growth and development and causes injuries that may result in the plant's death. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.

Transcriptome Profiling of Cucumber ( L.) Early Response to pv. .

Bacterial angular leaf spot disease (ALS) caused by pv. () is one of the biological factors limiting cucumber open-field production. The goal of this study was to characterize cytological and transcriptomic response of cucumber to this pathogen.

Genetic mapping of locus and quantitative trait loci for angular leaf spot resistance in cucumber ( L.).

One of the most important cucumber diseases is bacterial angular leaf spot (ALS), whose increased occurrence in open-field production has been observed over the last years. To map ALS resistance genes, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population was developed from a narrow cross of cucumber line Gy14 carrying resistance gene and susceptible B10 line. Parental lines and RILs were tested under growth chamber conditions as well as in the field for angular leaf spot symptoms.

The genetic basis of resistance to downy mildew in Cucumis spp.--latest developments and prospects.

Downy mildew, caused by the Oomycete pathogen Pseudoperonospora cubensis, is one of the most destructive diseases of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and muskmelon (C. melo L.
