Abstract
The genome of cucumber was released in 2009. The cucumber genome has been useful for the isolation and characterization of important genes. In the last few years, significant progress has been made in quality traits molecular mapping and gene cloning in cucumber. This chapter summarizes the quality trait genes including fruit traits (fruit epidermal features, fruit flavor, trichomes, fresh color, carpel number, etc.), leaf-relate traits (leaf color and shape), stem-relate traits, sex expression, and disease resistance, which have been molecularly mapped or cloned in cucumber.KeywordsCucumberQuality traitsFruitLeafStemSex expressionDisease
