Genetics and Molecular Biology of Cucurbits (Published)

Scope

Cucurbits consist of around 115 genera and 960 species, including widely produced and economically important species such as cucumber, squashes, gourds, pumpkins, luffa and melons. Much progress has been made on the research of genetics, molecular biology, genomics, and molecular breeding of cucurbits since the release of the cucumber genome in 2009.

This special issue of Vegetable Research will focus on the research of cloning and functional dissection of key genes controlling important agronomic traits and molecular breeding technology in cucurbits. We invite research and review articles related to the topics described above.
