“…In 2019 alone, more than 20 studies were published that reported identification of new candidate genes for simply inherited mutants or QTLs in cucumber. These publications covered a variety of traits, such as resistance to cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV), powdery mildew and angular leaf spot (Pujol et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2020a;2020b;2021), tolerance to abiotic stresses (heat and cold) (Dong et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2019b), plant architecture (Wen et al, 2019a;Njogu et al, 2020), flowering time, fruit size, shape, skin features, pedicel direction, and internal quality attributes (Rett-Cadman et al, 2019;Sun et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2019Zhang et al, , 2020bGao et al, 2020;Sheng et al, 2020;Song et al, 2020;Pan et al, 2020b;Wang et al, 2020a;2020b;, and leaf color and shape mutations (Ding et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2019;Hu et al, 2020).…”
