Genome-wide candidate gene analysis for identification of the cold tolerance responsible genes in Cucumber

Cucumber is one of major crops in Korea, however genetic backgrounds of major cucumber species are very similar to each others and most inbred lines are vulnerable under various abiotic stresses. So development of abiotic stress tolerant inbred lines of cucumber and molecular marker assisted breeding technologies are necessary. In this research chilling stress tolerance was main target trait and many polymorphic sites in CDS and intron regions of chilling tolerance related genes were analyzed for marker development.
