Identification of a putative candidate gene encoding 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase involved in brassinosteroids biosynthesis for compact plant architecture in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).

Abstract excerpt

KEY MESSAGE: By the strategy of bulked segregant analysis sequencing combined with genetic mapping, CsDWF5, which encodes 7 dehydrocholesterol reductase that involved in brassinosteroids biosynthesis, was identified as the candidate gene for cpa. Dwarf architecture is one of the most important breeding goals in crops. The biosynthesis and signal transduction of brassinosteroids (BRs) have a great impact on plant...
