Abstract
Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) are considered to be native to India. The
germplasm of cultivated and wild relatives is shown to grow in very di
verse agroecological conditions of the country. The north-eastern regi
on is shown to hold special significance for wild and cultivated germp
lasm. The disease and specific adaptation characters are pointed out.
Future scope for commercial growing and research needs are emphasised.
