Abstract excerpt
The WUSCHEL-CLAVATA3 pathway genes play an essential role in shoot apical meristem maintenance and floral organ development, and under intense selection during crop domestication. The carpel number is an important fruit trait that affects fruit shape, size and internal quality in cucumber, but the molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here, we found that CsCLV3 expression was negatively correlated with carpel...
