QTL Analysis of Femalness in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Gynoecy plays an important role in cucumber hybrid breeding and the use of gynoecious lines as maternal parents ensures high productivity. This study aimed to identify a molecular marker which select stable gynoecious cucumber palnt. For this purpose we made mapping populations from corssing between several stable gynoecious line and monoecious lines. We are doing QTL mapping analysis of femaleness of cuucmber from using these mapping population.
