Abstract excerpt
Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis is a widely employed strategy for inducing genetic variation in plants. While EMS mutagenesis of seeds has been utilized in cucumber, the potential of pollen-based mutagenesis remains largely unexplored in this important crop. To address this gap, we developed the first optimized pollen-EMS mutagenesis protocol for cucumber using the inbred line Poinsett 76. This approach...
