Obtention of Embryos and Plants From In Vitro Culture of Fertilized Ovules of Cucumis melo 5 Days After Pollination

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 10:62-63 (article 33) 1987 A. Sauton INRA, Station d’Amèlioration des Plantes maraîchères, 84140 Montfavet, France In Cucurbitaceae, failure of interspecific hybridization may be due to an early abortion of the hybrid embryos (3). Young Cucumis embryos when they are extracted at globular or heart shape stages are sometimes able to continue […]
