Identification of quantitative trait loci for in vitro plant regeneration from leaf microexplants in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).

Plant regeneration in tissue cultures is crucial for the application of biotechnological methods to plant breeding. However, the genetic basis of in vitro plant regeneration is not fully understood. For cucumber, regeneration protocols from different types of explants have been reported, but thus far, the molecular basis of regeneration from cotyledon explants has only been studied.

A single nucleotide substitution introducing premature stop codon within CsTFL1 explains the determinate-2 phenotype in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).

The determinate growth habit of plants reduces the number of internodes and shortens the main stem by terminating the shoot apical meristem through a transition to inflorescence. Understanding the genetic basis of this habit can help optimize crop yield and cultivation technology for vegetable breeding. This study aimed to identify the determinate-2 (de-2) gene responsible for the determinate growth habit in the W-sk cucumber line.

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.

Identification of Fruit-Associated QTLs in Winter Squash ( Duchesne) Using Recombinant Inbred Lines.

Duchesne squash and pumpkins are cultivated world-wide. fruits are produced for fresh market and are valuable for food processing. Therefore, fruit characteristics and yield are the traits of high economic importance for breeders.

Genetic mapping of ovary colour and quantitative trait loci for carotenoid content in the fruit of Duchesne.

The high content of carotenoids, sugars, dry matter, vitamins and minerals makes the fruit of winter squash ( Duchesne) a valuable fresh-market vegetable and an interesting material for the food industry. Due to their nutritional value, long shelf-life and health protective properties, winter squash fruits have gained increased interest from researchers in recent years. Despite these advantages, the genetic and genomic resources available for are still limited.
