Citron—Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Mansf. var. citroides (Bailey) Mansf.

EDIS, 2003
This document describes the citron melon (Citrullus lanatus var. citroides), a fruit closely related to watermelon but inedible when raw. Often called stock or preserving melon, it is distinct from the citrus citron. The fruit is small, tough, and white-

Transforming Life Science Through Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies

Genes to Cells, Volume 31, Issue 5, September 2026.
Chromosome‐level genome assemblies provide a framework for “glocal biology” in species of interest, linking local molecular features to chromosome architecture and evolutionary context. When integrated with pangenome analysis, comparative multi‐omics, genome language models, and experimental approaches, these assemblies enable hypothesis generation and

Engineering glyphosate‐resistant watermelon by prime editing

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 9, Page 3298-3300, September 2026.
Editing the watermelon EPSPS gene using a prime editing platform with visible markers created a non‐transgenic glyphosate‐resistant line. These robust heterozygous mutants tolerate field‐level herbicide doses without growth penalties, serving as ideal parental lines for crop breeding.

Cucurbit Leaf Crumple Virus: An Important Pathogen of Cucurbit and Snap Bean Crops

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Cucurbit leaf crumple virus (CuLCrV) is an emerging pathogen in the New World. High whitefly abundance and transmission efficiency, mixed infections, weed reservoirs and limited host resistance challenge cucurbit and snap bean production. ABSTRACT Taxonomy Cucurbit leaf crumple virus (CuLCrV); Begomovirus cucurbitae; Geminiviridae; Geplafuvirales ...

A Novel AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Controls Trichome Initiation and Fruit Development in Cucumber

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, Page 5077-5093, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Trichomes, the hair‐like outgrowths of the plant epidermis, are critical for defence, reproduction and development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their initiation remain elusive. Here, we identified CsGL2, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, as a key integrator controlling trichome initiation and fruit development in ...

Out of the blue: family‐wide loss of anthocyanin biosynthesis in Cucurbitaceae

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 6, September 2026.
Significance Statement Anthocyanins are nearly universal plant pigments, making their evolutionary loss unexpected. Phylogenomics across Cucurbitaceae reveals the consistent absence of key structural and regulatory genes in the anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin pathways, indicating a family‐wide pathway loss. We propose Cucurbitaceae as a ‘natural knock‐
