Integrated Meta-QTL analysis and transcriptomic profiling reveal genomic regions for fruit quality, abiotic and biotic stress resilience in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).
This study conducted a comprehensive Meta-QTL analysis by integrating 647 initial QTLs from 40 independent studies published between 2003 and 2024, identifying 38 robust mQTLs associated with fruit quality, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance and key drivers of fruit quality.
