Abstract excerpt
Dwarf mutants in higher plants serve as ideal models for studying the mechanisms underlying stem elongation and plant development. Moreover, the compact stature of dwarf plants renders them advantageous for high-density planting and mechanized harvesting. In this study, we identified a naturally occurring super-compact cucumber mutant, designated scp159. Due to reduced cell elongation, scp159 exhibits an...
