Abstract excerpt
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a globally important vegetable crop. Ideal plant architecture optimizes spatial utilization, enhances economic coefficient, and facilitates mechanized cultivation. In this study, we identified a dwarf mutant, csdw3, exhibiting reduced plant height, shortened internodes, and fewer internodes. Genetic analysis showed that this dwarf phenotype is controlled by a single recessive...
