Deciphering Codon Usage Patterns in Genome of <i>Cucumis sativus</i> in Comparison with Nine Species of Cucurbitaceae
Cucumber is the most important vegetable crop in the Cucurbitaceae family. Condon usage bias (CUB) is a valuable character of species evolution. However, there is little research on the CUB of cucumber. Thus, this study analyzes the codon usage patterns of cucumber and its relatives within Cucurbita...

Cucumber is the most important vegetable crop in the Cucurbitaceae family. Condon usage bias (CUB) is a valuable character of species evolution. However, there is little research on the CUB of cucumber. Thus, this study analyzes the codon usage patterns of cucumber and its relatives within Cucurbitaceae on the genomic level. The analysis of fundamental indicators of codon characteristics shows that it was slightly GC poor, and there was weak codon usage bias in cucumber. We conduct the analysis of neutrality plot, ENC plot, P2 index, and COA indicates that the nucleotide composition, mutation pressure, and translational selection might play roles in CUB in cucumber and its relatives.
