Cucumber is a member of Cucurbitaceae comprising 90 genera and 750 species. It is consumed as salad or in pickled form. Cucumber is a low energy and high water content vegetable and is mainly used as refreshing condiment Considerable heterosis has been manifested in cucumber for various traits such as number of fruits, early and high yield. However, hybrid seed production requires development of superior lines for production of good quality hybrids. Three major genes Acr/acr, M/m, and A/a besides environmental factors and modifying genes mainly control various sex types. Of the various sex forms, gynoecious and monoecious are important from hybrid production point of view. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
