Cucumber CsHsfA2 improves thermotolerance through self-activation and activation of CsHsp70-1
Heat stress poses a serious threat to crop growth and development, yield, and quality. The function of heat shock factor A2 (HsfA2) to heat tolerance and its regulatory genes, heat shock proteins (Hsps), has been...

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of Hsf and Hsp gene families in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are molecular chaperones that participate in plant growth and development, and in plant responses to environmental stresses, including heat stress, Hsps' expression is monitored and reg...

Transcriptome profiling reveals response genes for downy mildew resistance in cucumber
We discovered a potential defense pathway of cucumber to downy mildew. The signaling that activates the pathways of ROS and lignin accumulation may play an important role in the defense response. Many resistan...

Open AccessGenome-wide analysis of the WRKY gene family in the cucumber genome and transcriptome-wide identification of WRKY transcription factors that respond to biotic and abiotic stresses
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is an economically important vegetable crop species. However, it is susceptible to various abiotic and biotic stresses. WRKY transcription factors play important roles in plant growt...

Open AccessGenome-wide identification and characterization of cucumber bHLH family genes and the functional characterization of CsbHLH041 in NaCl and ABA tolerance in Arabidopsis and cucumber
The basic/helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor family exists in all three eukaryotic kingdoms as important participants in biological growth and development. To date, the comprehensive genomic and func...

Open AccessComprehensive analysis of multiprotein bridging factor 1 family genes and SlMBF1c negatively regulate the resistance to Botrytis cinerea in tomato
Multiprotein bridging factor 1 s (MBF1s) are members of the transcriptional co-activator family that have involved in plant growth, development and stress responses. However, little is known about the Solanum lyc...

A fragment substitution in the promoter of CsHDZIV11/CsGL3 is responsible for fruit spine density in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
The indel in the promoter of CsHDZIV11 co-segregates with fruit spine density and could be used for molecular breeding in cucumber.
