Comparative Analysis of GRAS Genes in Six Cucurbitaceae Species Provides Insights into Their Evolution and Function
The Cucurbitaceae family comprises economically valuable vegetables such as cucumber, melon, and pumpkin.GRAS proteins, which are crucial transcription factors, play diverse roles in plant growth and development.However, comparative investigations of GRAS proteins across Cucurbitaceae species are limited.Here, we identified 241 GRAS family genes in
