Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 12:22-23 (article 10) 1989 A. Sauton Royal Sluis France, Research and Development Station, BP 1431 30017 Nimes, France A very efficient method of doubled haploid production is now commonly used in muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) breeding programs (2). This method consists of the induction of gynogenesis in situ with gamma-ray irradiated […]
Improvements of in vitro Growth of Cucumber
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 12:20-22 (article 9) 1989 J.B.M. Custers and E.C.P. Verstappen Institute for Horticultural Plant Breeding (IVT), P.O. Box 16, 6700 AA Wageningen, The Netherlands In general, in vitro culture of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) meets with several problems. In regeneration studies, adventitious buds as well as somatic embryos develop poorly into plants, […]
