Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A single-nucleotide insertion resulted in a premature stop codon that is responsible for white immature fruit color in cucumber. Despite our previous progress in the mapping of the gene controlling white color in immature cucumber fruit and the identification of candidate genes, the specific gene that governs chlorophyll metabolism and its regulatory mechanism remains unknown. Here, we generated a...
