104 <strong>Cucurbit</strong> Genetics Cooperative Report 28-29: 94-104 (2005-2006)
Gene List 2005 for Cucumber Todd C. Wehner Department of Horticultural Science, <strong>North</strong> Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 U.S.A. This is the latest version of the gene list for cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). In addition <strong>to</strong> morphological and resistance genes, this list includes genes that have been cloned from different plant tissues of cucumber. The genes in the list have been grouped in<strong>to</strong> ten categories as follows: seedling markers, stem mutants, leaf mutants, flower mutants, fruit type mutants, fruit color mutants, resistance genes (mostly <strong>to</strong> diseases), protein (isozyme) variants, DNA (RFLPs and RAPDs) markers (Table 1), and cloned genes (Table 2). There is also a review of linkage of the morphological and resistance genes. <strong>Complete</strong> lists and updates of genes for have been published previously, as follows: Previous Lists - Robinson et al., 1976 - Robinson et al., 1982 - Pierce and Wehner, 1989 - Wehner, 1993 - Wehner and Staub, 1997 - Xie and Wehner, 2001 Revisions <strong>to</strong> the 2005 cucumber gene list include the addition of Psm for paternal sorting of mi<strong>to</strong>chondria (Havey et al., 2004). Researchers are encouraged <strong>to</strong> send reports of new genes, as well as seed samples <strong>to</strong> the cucumber gene cura<strong>to</strong>r (Nischit V. Shetty), or <strong>to</strong> the assistant cura<strong>to</strong>r (Todd C. Wehner). Please inform us of omissions or errors in the gene list. Scientists should consult the list as well as the rules of gene nomenclature for the <strong>Cucurbit</strong>aceae (Robinson et al., 1976; Robinson et al., 1982) before choosing a gene name and symbol. That will avoid duplication of gene names and symbols. The rules of gene nomenclature were adopted in order <strong>to</strong> provide guidelines for naming and symbolizing genes. Scientists are urged <strong>to</strong> contact members of the gene list committee regarding rules and gene symbols. Gene Mutants Seedling Mutants One of the advantages of using the cucumber in genetic research is the availability of seedling markers. To date, five non-lethal color mutants [virescent (v) (Poole, 1944; Tkachenko, 1935), variegated virescence (vvi) (Abul-Hayja and Williams, 1976), yellow cotyledons-1 (yc-1) (Aalders, 1959), yellow cotyledons-2 (yc-2) (Whelan and Chubey, 1973; Whelan et al., 1975), yellow plant (yp) (Abul-Hayja and Williams, 1976)] and 4 lethal, color mutants [chlorophyll deficient (cd) (Burnham et al., 1966), golden cotyledon (gc) (Whelan, 1971), light sensitive (ls) (Whelan, 1972b), pale lethal (pl) (Whelan, 1973)] have been identified. Six seedling traits which affect traits other than color include bitterfree (bi) (Andeweg, 1959), blind, (bl) (Carlsson, 1961), delayed growth (dl) (Miller and George, 1979), long hypocotyl (lh) (Robinson et al., 1982), revolute cotyledons (rc) (Whelan et al., 1975) and stunted cotyledons (sc) (Shanmugasundarum and Williams, 1971; Shanmugasundarum et al., 1972). Stem Mutants Seven genes have been identified which affect stem length: bush (bu) (Pyzenkov and Kosareva, 1981), compact (cp) (Kauffman and Lower, 1976), determinate (de) (Denna, 1971; Kooistra, 1971; Odland and Groff, 1963b), dwarf (dw) (Robinson and Mishanec, 1965), tall height (T) (Hutchins, <strong>Cucurbit</strong> Genetics Cooperative Report 28-29: 105-141 (2005-2006) 105
