Comparative Metabolomics and Molecular Phylogenetics of Melon (Cucumis melo, Cucurbitaceae) Biodiversity Open
The broad variability of Cucumis melo (melon, Cucurbitaceae) presents a challenge to conventional classification and organization within the species. To shed further light on the infraspecific relationships within C. melo, we compared geno…

Differential expression of cucumber RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase 1 genes during antiviral defence and resistance Open
Summary RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase 1 (RDR1) plays a crucial role in plant defence against viruses. In this study, it was observed that cucumber, Cucumis sativus , uniquely encodes a small gene family of four RDR1 genes. The cucumber RDR1…
