The high-density consensus map was constructed based on the GY14 × PI 183967 map from an inter-subspecific cross and the extended S94 × S06 map from an intra-subspecific cross. The consensus map was… (More)
Warty fruit is one of the highly valuable external quality traits related to the market values of cucumber. Genetic analysis has shown that a single dominant gene, Tu (Tuberculate fruit), determines… (More)
Owing to its diverse sex types, the cucumber plant has been studied widely as a model for sex determination. In addition to environmental factors and plant hormones, three major genes—F/f, M/m, and… (More)
Having more information on the yeast ecology of grapes is important for wine-makers to produce wine with high quality and typical attributes. China is a significant wine-consuming country and is… (More)
It is well established that the plant hormone ethylene plays a key role in cucumber sex determination. Since the unisexual control gene M was cloned and shown to encode an ethylene synthase, instead… (More)
A 14 bp deletion in CsACS2 gene encoding a truncated loss-of-function protein is responsible for elongated fruit shape and perfect flowers in cucumber. In cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), sex… (More)

Toxicokinetic and pharmacokinetic studies of therapeutic oligonucleotides require validated bioanalytical methods for sensitive and specific quantification of oligonucleotide drug candidates in… (More)
A novel dwarf cucumber mutant, scp-2, displays a typical BR biosynthesis-deficient phenotype, which is due to a mutation in CsDET2 for a steroid 5-alpha-reductase. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group… (More)
Chemical hybridization agent (CHA)-induced male sterility is an important tool in crop heterosis. To demonstrate that CHA-SQ-1-induced male sterility is associated with abnormal tapetal and… (More)
The nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of amorphous materials is routinely analyzed by statistically fitting the crystallization data to kinetic models. In this work, we systematically evaluate… (More)
