Abstract excerpt
Fruit neck length (FNL) is an important quality trait in cucumber because it directly affects its market value. However, its genetic basis remains largely unknown. We identified a candidate gene for FNL in cucumber using a next-generation sequencing-based bulked segregant analysis in F2 populations, derived from a cross between Jin5-508 (long necked) and YN (short necked). A quantitative trait locus (QTL) on...
