Pre- and Post-Zygotic Barriers Contribute to Reproductive Isolation and Correlate with Genetic Distance in Cucumis

Plants, 2023
Hybridization between Cucumis species, including cultivated melon (C. melo), is hampered by Interspecific Reproductive Barriers (IRBs). However, the nature of IRBs in Cucumis is largely unknown.

The genome of the cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. [PDF]

Nature Genetics, 2009
Cucumber is an economically important crop as well as a model system for sex determination studies and plant vascular biology. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Cucumis sativus var. sativus L., assembled using a novel combination of traditional Sanger and next-generation Illumina GA sequencing technologies to obtain 72.2-fold genome coverage.

High‐quality chromosome‐level genomes of Cucumis metuliferus and Cucumis melo provide insight into Cucumis genome evolution

The Plant Journal, 2021
SummaryCucumis metuliferus (African horned cucumber), a wild relative of Cucumis sativus (cucumber) and Cucumis melo (melon), displays high‐level resistance to several important plant pathogens (e.g., root‐knot nematodes and several viruses). Here, we report a chromosome‐level genome assembly for C. metuliferus, with a 316 Mb genome sequence comprising

Reconstruction of ancestral karyotype illuminates chromosome evolution in the genus Cucumis.

The Plant Journal, 2021
Karyotype dynamics driven by complex chromosome rearrangements constitute a fundamental issue in evolutionary genetics. The evolutionary events underlying karyotype diversity within plant genera, however, have rarely been reconstructed from a computed ...

Comprehensive analysis of the WRKY gene family in Cucumis metuliferus and their expression profile in response to an early stage of root knot nematode infection

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Root-knot nematode (RKN) is a major factor that limits the growth and productivity of important Cucumis crops, such as cucumber and melon, which lack RKN-resistance genes in their genome. Cucumis metuliferus is a wild Cucumis species that displays a high
