About This Topic

"Cucurbits, a family of plants that includes melons, cucumbers, gourds, and squash, are important agricultural crops worldwide due to their nutritional and economic value. The special issue aims to highlight the latest advances in the genetic understanding and breeding techniques of these vital crops. With the advent of modern genomic tools, researchers are now better equipped to decipher the complex genetic architecture of cucurbits, leading to improved cultivars with enhanced disease resistance, stress tolerance, and yield. This issue welcomes submissions exploring the genetic basis of these traits, the use of marker-assisted selection and genomics-assisted breeding, and the impact of climate change on cucurbit genetics and breeding strategies. Through fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue, this special issue will contribute to the global efforts in improving cucurbit crops, meeting the challenges of food security, and adapting to changing environmental conditions."
