Nine-carbon aldehydes and their relative alcohols (C9 aromas) are the main aroma compounds of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) fruits and provide a unique cucumber-like note. However, the key regulators of C9 aroma accumulation in cucumber fruit are poorly characterized.

In this study, we identified a dwarf mutant cp-3 from an EMS-mutagenized population, which had extremely short internodes, and the cell length and number of internodes were significantly reduced. Meanwhile, exogenous GA treatment partially rescued the plant height of the cp-3.

The purpose of this study was to determine the mechanism by which β-sitosterol enhances the sensitivity of lung cancer cells to anlotinib.

Background: Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) has been shown to have a curative effect on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to elucidate the role of AS-IV in NSCLC cell anlotinib resistance (AR).
Methods: The NSCLC/AR cells, resistant to anlotinib, have been produced.
The stress response molecule nuclear protein‑1 (NUPR1) is essential for the growth of multiple types of human malignant tumor cells. However, the significance of NUPR1 in lung cancer is still not entirely elucidated. Therefore, this study is aimed to explore the function and underlying mechanisms of NUPR1 in lung cancer.

However, little is known about the genetic basis of aroma compounds in cucumber fruit and the related quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In this study, genomic screening of QTLs underlying aroma compounds was performed based on the genetic linkage map constructed using 1301 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from genotyping-by-sequencing of a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population developed from Q16 × Q24.

Aims: To investigate the effects of COL3A1 on modulating cisplatin (DDP) resistance in lung carcinoma.
Study Design: A cell study.
The root-knot nematode (RKN), , is a devastating pathogen for cucumber ( L.) specially in production under protected environments or continuous cropping. High level RKN resistance has been identified in African horned melon (CM).

Irrespective of the line tested, the daily increment of volatile compounds and C6 aldehydes were positively correlated with average daily light intensity (X), while the daily increment of C9 aldehydes was negatively correlated with average daily relative humidity (X) and average daytime relative humidity (X). X was considered as the most significant environmental factor which affected the daily increment of volatile compounds in both lines, X was the environmental factor which affected the daily increment of C9 aldehydes most in No.
