This report is written after the first year of research for the vegetable part in the project. It describes the work of Work Package 1, focussed on the question what is determining water loss in cucumbers. Why are certain fruits/cultivars losing more or less water? Can we find characteristics/traits involved in water loss. Two experiments have been performed, one explorative experiment to determine the methodology and one experiment in which 12 cultivars are screened on water loss characteristics and fruit and quality characteristics.
