Combining Ability and Genetic Variances of G × H F1 Hybrids for Parthenocarpic Yield in Gynoecious Pickling Cucumber for Once-over Mechanical Harvest1

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1981
Abstract The parthenocarpic yield and associated traits of 20 gynoecious hybrids of pickling cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) were measured by crossing 4 gynoecious with 5 hermaphroditic lines.

Self‐compatibility in Solanum malmeanum (Solanaceae): Evolutionary and breeding impacts for a novel source of genetic variation in diploid potatoes

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Solanum malmeanum, a wild relative of the potato (S. tuberosum), is native to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. This wild potato species belongs to the tertiary gene pool (2x = 2n = 24, 1EBN – Endosperm Balance Number) and possesses valuable traits for potato breeding. Understanding its reproductive mechanisms is crucial for effectively

Creation of cucumber lines with a high degree of parthenocarpy

Овощи России
Relevance. In protected ground cucumber is one of the most profitable crops due to its high rate of maturity, shade tolerance, yield and possibility to get fresh fruits almost all year round. Vegetable producers prefer parthenocarpic hybrids of cucumber,

Comparative Studies on Fertility Traits of CMS Eggplants (Solanum melongena L.) Using Cytoplasms from Five Wild Solanum Species

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Five cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines of eggplant “Uttara” (Solanum melongena L.) with the cytoplasms of S. kurzii (KUR), S. violaceum (VIO), S. aethiopicum (AET), S. anguivi (ANG), and S. grandifolium (GRA) and three restorers of fertility (RF) lines of CMS from AET, ANG, and GRA were compared for the fertility traits to determine which CMS are ...

Transgene‐Free, Gene‐Edited Cavendish Bananas (Musa acuminata, AAA)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1620-1634, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Global consumer acceptance of gene‐edited food crops is increasing with new breeding technologies that can modify the genome without foreign DNA integration. Here, we report an Agrobacterium‐based system for transgene‐free, gene editing of the banana cultivar, Cavendish.

Synthesizing current knowledge on the ecology, phenology, and cultivation of Vaccinium membranaceum

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 116-133, January 2026.
More than 100 edible native berries grow across Canada's vast territory and are used by over 600 Indigenous Peoples of Canada as a main component of their diet. This research provides critical insights into the ecology, phenology, and cultivation of black huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum), a species of significant ecological and cultural importance ...

Photosystem Perturbation by Staygreen Mutations Confers Allele‐Dependent Defences Against Infections of Pathogens With Different Lifestyles and Abiotic Stress Tolerance

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 585-603, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The staygreen (SGR) gene encodes the magnesium dechelatase that plays an important regulatory role during chlorophyll degradation. Our previous work revealed a nonsynonymous SNP (A323G) inside cucumber CsSGR that is responsible for multiple disease resistance (MDR), but the underlying mechanism is unknown.

MicroRNA156‐SPL13B Module Induces Parthenocarpy Through the Gibberellin Pathway

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 5536-5549, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Fruit development typically follows pollination and fertilisation. However, parthenocarpy, the formation of seedless fruits, represents an alternative pathway. The fruit that grows from the ovary under unpollinated and/or unfertilised conditions is termed parthenocarpic.

Twenty years of cucurbit breeding research at the World Vegetable Center

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The contribution of cucurbit crops to global food and nutrition security is immense. They are economically and nutritionally important to smallholder farmers in Asia, who account for 81% of global cucurbit production. World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) has been focused for 20 years on four species: bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), ridge ...
