Abstract excerpt
The determination of sex morphs and the optimization of fruit shape are key challenges in cucumber cultivation and breeding, with ethylene recognized as a crucial regulatory factor in both processes. Ethylene is synthesized through the coordinated actions of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO). While previous studies have highlighted the significant role of CsACSs in...
