ABSTRACT = {Fruit spine is an important quality trait of cucumber. To better understand the molecular basis of cucumber spine development and function, RNA-Seq was performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in fruit spines of different development stages, namely, 8 days before anthesis (SpBA8), anthesis (SpA) and 8 days after anthesis (SpAA8). Stage-wise comparisons obtained 2,259 (SpBA8 <i>vs</i>. SpA), 4,551 (SpA <i>vs</i>. SpAA8), and 5,290 (SpBA8 <i>vs</i>. SpAA8) DEGs. All the DEGs were classified into eight expression clusters by trend analysis. Among these DEGs, in addition to the <i>Mict</i>, <i>Tril</i>, <i>CsTTG1</i>, <i>CsMYB6</i>, <i>NS</i>, and <i>Tu</i> genes that have been reported to regulate fruit spine formation, we found that the <i>CsHDG11</i>, <i>CsSCL8</i>, <i>CsSPL8</i>, <i>CsZFP6</i> and <i>CsZFP8</i> may also be involved in spine development in cucumber. Our study provides a theoretical basis for further research on molecular mechanisms of spine development in cucumber.},
