Abstract excerpt
The fruit shape of cucumber is an important agronomic trait, and mining regulatory genes, especially dominant ones, is vital for cucumber breeding. In this study, we identified a short and fat fruit mutant, named sff, from an EMS mutagenized population. Compared to the CCMC (WT), sff (MT) exhibited reduced fruit length and increased dimeter. Segregation analysis revealed that the sff phenotype is controlled by a...
