Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is an economically important vegetable crop that is cultivated worldwide. Compared to the wild ancestor bearing small, bitter and seedy fruit, domesticated cucumbers exhibit significant variation in fruit appearance, size and flavor. Understanding the molecular basis of domestication related traits can provide insights into fruit evolution and make crop breeding more efficient. Here we review recent advances in relating to the genetic basis of fruit morphological traits (femaleness, fruit spine, wart, size, color and carpel development) and organoleptic features (bitterness) during cucumber domestication.
黄瓜（Cucumis sativus L.）是一种经济重要的蔬菜作物，在全球范围内种植。与野生祖先的小、苦、多籽果实相比，驯化的黄瓜在果实外观、大小和风味上表现出显著的变异。了解与驯化相关性状相关的分子基础，可以深入了解果实进化，并使作物育种更加高效。在这里，我们回顾了黄瓜驯化过程中与果实形态特征（雌性、果实刺、瘤、大小、颜色和心皮发育）和感官特征（苦味）相关的遗传基础的最新进展。
