Phenylurea Cytokinin (CPPU) More Effective than 6-Penzyladenine in Promoting Fruit Set and Inducing Parthenocarpy in Melon
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 19:47-48? (article 17) 1996 J. Brent Loy and Peter C. Allen Department of Plant Biology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824 The cytokinin N6 -benzyladenine (BA) promotes fruit set in hand-pollinated melons (3). Because fruit set in hand-pollinated melons is often low, many breeders have adopted the use of BA […]
