Multi-trait assessment of Meloidogyne incognita resistance in developed Cucumis spp. inbred lines: horticultural, physiological, biochemical, and histological insights
This study aimed to develop nematode-resistant inbred lines from Cucumis sativus, C. sativus var. hardwickii, and C. metuliferus, and to elucidate their resistance mechanisms against Meloidogyne incognita. Three parental genotypes were self-pollinated across five generations, with simultaneous selection for superior ho...
