Genetic modification in horticultural crops, particularly within the Cucurbitaceae family, is often hindered by complex tissue culture requirements and environmental pressures such as climate change.

Genetically modified (GM) crops are widely used around the world, but their effects on the environment need to be better understood. "Increasing land productivity in the form of greater crop yields ...
