Genome-wide identification and characterization of parthenocarpic fruit set-related gene homologs in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).

ABSTRACT: Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), a major horticultural crop, in the family Cucurbitaceae is grown and consumed globally. Parthenocarpy is an ideal trait for many fruit and vegetables which produces seedless fruit desired by consumers. The seedlessness occurs when fruit develops without fertilization which can be either natural or induced. So far, a limited number of genes regulating parthenocarpic fruit set have been reported in several fruit or vegetable crops, most of which are involved in hormone biosynthesis or signalling. Although parthenocarpic cucumber has been widely used in commercial production for a long time; its genetic basis is not well understood. In this study, we retrieved thirty five parthenocarpy fruit-set related genes (PRGs) from bibliomic data in various plants. Thirty-
