Effect of kinetin and GA₃ on in vitro ovule embryo culture of Cucumis melo L.

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The ability of Cucumis melo embryos of different ages to form plants in vitro was studied in order to rescue hybrid embryos between C. melo and Cucumis metuliferus. Plants were grown in a glasshouse at temperatures ranging from 15°CN-28°CD. Best results were obtained with ovule embryos excised 17 days after pollination. At this age, kinetin of 0.5 mg l^-1 was found optimal for culturing embryo development. Similar results were obtained with ovule embryos excised 14 days after pollination which cultured on 0.5 mg l^-1 kinetin with 0.5 mg l^-1 GA₃.
