Abstract excerpt
KEYMESSAGE: A novel semi-dwarf cucumber mutant (sd), identified from an EMS mutagenesis screen, was characterized as being caused by a single-nucleotide mutation in CsBRP1-a gene encoding a PHD-type domain-containing protein-a function in regulating plant architecture that was further verified by VIGS. Plant height is a key agronomic trait influencing biomass and yield in crops. Semi-dwarf varieties can improve...
