Utilization of marker-assisted backcrossing to generate new gynoecious cucumber lines with genetic heritage similar to the indigenous Vietnamese cucumber.

Unlabelled: The marker-assisted backcrossing (MAB) can help to transfer an interested allele at a target locus from a donor to a recipient line. Gynoecious is a pivotal trait of cucumber since commercial F hybrid seeds produced with gynoecious line as one of the parents are high-yield and affordable. This study aims to transfer the locus encoded for gynoecious trait to Vietnamese domesticated cucumbers by marker-assisted backcrossing.
