In addition, cucumber became the first cucurbit to be sequenced, after other field crops such as rice, sorghum, soybean, and maize. This book provides an in-depth review of the state of the art ofgenetic and genomic research conducted in cucurbits in 13 chapters by34 internationally renowned scientists and will be useful to cucurbitresearchers as well as scientists working in other crops.
