Soluble solids content (SSC) is an important quality trait of wax gourd, but reports about its regulatory genes are scarce. In this study, the SSC regulatory gene in wax gourd was mined via quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping based on high-density genetic mapping containing 12 linkage groups (LG) and bulked segregant analysis (BSA)-seq. QTL mapping and BSA-seq revealed for the first time that the SSC QTL (107.658-108.176 cM) of wax gourd was on Chr2 (LG2). The interpretable phenotypic variation rate and maximum LOD were 16.033% and 6.454, respectively. The QTL interval contained 13 genes. Real-time fluorescence quantitative expression analysis, functional annotation, and sequence analysis suggested that , named , was a candidate regulatory gene of the SSC in wax gourd. Functional annotation of this gene showed that it codes for a NADP-dependent malic enzyme. According to sequence variation, an InDel marker was developed for molecular marker-assisted breeding of wax gourd. This study will lay the foundation for future studies regarding breeding and understanding genetic mechanisms of wax gourd.

Wax gourd wilt (WGW) is a destructive soil-borne disease, and grafting pumpkin rootstocks offers effective and eco-friendly control. "Haizhan 1" pumpkin rootstock exhibits superior disease resistance compared to , with root exudates improving soil microecology. However, the specific root exudate components involved in wilt resistance and their effects on soil microbial diversity remain unclear.

we reported a new phenylcarbamoylethylenediureido-β-cyclodextrin CSP (PUCDP) for HPLC, which was conveniently prepared by immobilizing the addition product of diethylenetriamino-β-CD with 3,5-dichlorophenyl isocyanate onto silica gel. After structural characterization, the chromatographic performance of PUCDP was preliminarily evaluated by using common 11 triazole pesticides as probes. The results showed that PUCDP had strong chiral separation abilities for all triazoles (Rs=1.

Background: The short strand-related sequence (SRS) gene family is a class of plant-specific transcription factors related to a group of genes known as the short internode (SHI) or SRS/STY gene family, which plays important roles in regulating plant growth and development and stress responses. Although the genes have been studied in many plants, in cucurbit crops, they have thus far only been identified in cucumber.
Methods: In the Cucurbitaceae database from melon (), cucumber (), watermelon (), bottle gourd (), wax gourd (), moschata pumpkin (, and pumpkin (), a total of 60 genes were identified in seven Cucurbitaceae crops, which were classified into three subfamilies.

Pangenomics is the exploration and characterization of the full spectrum of genetic variation within a species or a given taxonomic clade. Driven by the accelerating decline in sequencing costs and the widespread adoption of long-read sequencing technologies, the "wave" of pangenomics is now hitting various major crops, uncovering substantial intraspecific diversity previously underestimated and neglected. This includes crops belonging to the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae), such as cucumber (), melon (), watermelon (), wax gourd (), and bottle gourd (), all of which are important on a global or regional scale.
