Interspecific hybridization in Cucumis leads to the divergence of phenotypes in response to low light and extended photoperiods

Interspecific hybridization in Cucumis leads to the divergence of phenotypes in response to low light and extended photoperiods

With the aim of improving shade tolerance of cucumber, Cucumis ×hytivus, a newly synthesized allotetraploid, was obtained by crossing a shade tolerant wild relative, C. hystrix, with a cultivated cucumber, C. sativus L. ‘BejingJietou’. The results show that the new C. ×hytivus only partly is an inte...
