A Genome-Wide Association Study to Identify Novel Candidate Genes Related to Low-Nitrogen Tolerance in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).

ABSTRACT: Cucumber is one of the most important vegetables, and nitrogen is essential for the growth and fruit production of cucumbers. It is crucial to develop cultivars with nitrogen limitation tolerance or high nitrogen efficiency for green and efficient development in cucumber industry. To reveal the genetic basis of cucumber response to nitrogen starvation, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on a collection of a genetically diverse population of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) comprising 88 inbred and DH accessions including the North China type, the Eurasian type, the Japanese and South China type mixed subtype, and the South China type subtype. Phenotypic evaluation of six traits under control (14 mM) and treatment (3.5 mM) N conditions depicted the presence of broad na
