Understanding Transcription Factors and How They Affect Processes in Cucumber Sex Determination.

ABSTRACT: Plant reproduction is a fundamental process on Earth from the perspective of biodiversity, biomass gain, and crop productivity. It is therefore important to understand the sex determination process, and many researchers are investigating the molecular basis of this phenomenon. However, information on the influence of transcription factors (TFs), genes that encode DNA-binding proteins, on this process is limited, although cucumber is a model plant in this regard. In the present study, based on RNA-seq data for differentially expressed genes (DEGs), we aimed to investigate the regulatory TFs that may influence the metabolic processes in the shoot apex containing the forming flower buds. Therefore, the annotation of the genome of the B10 cucumber line was supplemented with the assigned famili
