Comprehensive Analysis of the Chitinase Gene Family in Cucumber (<i>Cucumis sativus</i> L.): From Gene Identification and Evolution to Expression in Response to <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i>

Chitinases, a subgroup of pathogenesis-related proteins, are responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of chitin. Accumulating reports indicate that chitinases play a key role in plant defense against chitin-containing pathogens and are therefore good targets for defense response studies. Here, we u...
