Genetics and marker-assisted breeding for sex expression in cucumber.
Review in Frontiers in genetics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cucumber is an important vegetable crop that provides an accessible draft genome, which has significantly expedited research in various fields of molecular genetics. Cucumber breeders have been employing various methodologies to improve the yield and quality of the crop. These methodologies comprise enhancement of disease resistance, use of gynoecious sex types and their association with parthenocarpy, alterations in plant architecture, and enhancement of genetic variability. The genetics of sex expression are a complex trait in cucumbers but are very significant for the genetic improvement of cucumber crop. This review comprises an explanation of the current status of gene(s) involvement and its expression studies, the inheritance of genes, molecular markers, and genetic engineering associated with sex determination, as well as a discussion of the role of ethylene in sex expression and sex-determining genes of the ACS family. There is no doubt that gynoecy is an important trait among all sex forms of cucumber for heterosis breeding, but if it is associated with parthenocarpy, fruit yield can be enhanced to a greater extent under favorable conditions. However, little information is available with regard to parthenocarpy in gynoecious-type cucumber. This review sheds light on the genetics and molecular mapping of sex expression and could be beneficial especially to cucumber breeders and other scientists working on crop improvement via traditional and molecular assistant approaches.
