The Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, released the high b-carotene cucumber (Cucumis sativus var. sativus L.) line EOM 402-10 in Jan. 2011. Line EOM 402-10 was made available to U.S. cucumber breeders to supply a source from which they may develop elite germplasm possessing high levels of b-carotene as a natural source of vitamin A to the human diet (i.e., improve nutritional value of cucumber). This germplasm is fixed for genes controlling the expression of b-carotene in mature (2 to 5 cm in diameter) greenhousegrown fruit (Cuevas et al., 2010). Therefore, line EOM 402-10 can be used directly in breeding programs for the introgression of three b-carotene genes (Cuevas et al., 2010; Navazio and Simon, 2001) into elite germplasm. Moreover, the relatively short life cycle of cucumber (3 to 4 months) makes EOM 402-10 an attractive candidate for use in functional genomics studies that seek to clarify carotenoid accumulation in higher plants.
