Advances in Cucurbitaceae Research

This study maps genetic loci for gummy stem blight resistance in watermelon using QTL-seq, identifying four and six QTLs in two crosses and highlighting candidate genes involved in resistance.

The paper constructs a graph-based pangenome of Cucurbita pepo to study adaptive evolution, identifying structural variants and showing parallel domestication and environmental adaptation.

This study genetically dissects root-mediated yield heterosis in melon using a segregating population, identifying QTLs and demonstrating their potential for yield improvement through allele pyramiding.

This study identifies a recessive mutation in a TCP gene that causes multiple-flowering in summer squash, enhancing yield through increased flower production per leaf axil.

This study compares traditional morphological clustering with a new method (HSGCA) for predicting heterosis in bitter gourd hybrids, finding HSGCA more reliable for grouping lines to enhance hybrid performance.

The paper evaluates combining abilities and heterosis in Cucurbita moschata hybrids to classify parental lines based on their general combining ability effects.

The paper identifies genetic variants in Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii using in-silico analysis of genome-wide sequencing data to explore phenotypic diversity and improve crop traits.

The paper identifies varietal-specific intergenic small open reading frames in cucumber using RNA-seq and bioinformatics tools, revealing sequence diversity and expression patterns.

The paper presents a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of bitter gourd and analyzes domestication-related genetic changes.
