Candidate genes associated with low temperature tolerance in cucumber adult plants identified by combining GWAS & QTL mapping.

Fruit quality and yield are reduced when cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants are exposed to low temperature (LT) stress, yet, the inheritance and genes linked to cold tolerance in adult plants have not been reported yet. Here, the LT-tolerance of 120 cucumber accessions representing four ecotypes were evaluated by GWAS, and also, in 140 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a biparental cross.

Morphological Characterization and Integrated Transcriptome and Proteome Analysis of () Mutant in L.

Cucumber ( L.) is an economically important vegetable crop with the unique growth habit and typical trailing shoot architecture of Cucurbitaceae. Elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of growth and development is significant for improving quality and productivity in cucumber.
