Abstract Synopsis
- The text explains that cucumber (Cucumis sativus L) has been cultivated worldwide, with domesticated varieties showing larger, less bitter, and more appealing fruits compared to their wild ancestors.
- It focuses on recent scientific research that has uncovered the genetic factors responsible for key domestication traits such as fruit size, shape, color, spines, wart size, and bitterness.
- Understanding these genetic insights can help improve breeding efforts and deepen our knowledge of how cucumbers evolved from wild to cultivated forms.]
