Genetic Resources, Quality and Stress Tolerance of Cucurbitaceae Crops
This special issue belongs to the section “Horticultural and Floricultural Crops“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Cucurbitaceae family, also known as the gourd family, possesses many economically important species, such as cucumber, melon, watermelon, calabash, squash, and pumpkin. Since the first sequenced vegetable genome of cucumber in 2009, the rapid development of technologies such as high-throughput sequencing is boosting the research on a number of areas in cucurbits.
The scope of this Special Issue is to bring together cutting-edge full research articles regarding the advances in scientific areas related to the genetic resources, quality, and stress tolerance of cucurbit species.
