Abstract excerpt
Cucumis metuliferus (African horned cucumber), a wild relative of Cucumis sativus (cucumber) and Cucumis melo (melon), displays high-level resistance to several important plant pathogens (e.g., root-knot nematodes and several viruses). Here, we report a chromosome-level genome assembly for C. metuliferus, with a 316 Mb genome sequence comprising 29 039 genes. Phylogenetic analysis of related species in family...
