Cucumber's Secret: Decoding the Metabolic Role of CsNADP-ME2
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A recent study has uncovered the pivotal role of the enzyme CsNADP-ME2 (NADP-dependent malic enzyme, NADP-ME) in cucumbers, controlling the delicate balance between carbon and amino acid metabolism within the fruit. This intricate metabolic process directly impacts fruit development, yield, and nutritional quality, highlighting CsNADP-ME2 as a promising target for enhancing crop performance and food quality through metabolic engineering.
