PLANT REGENERATION FROM HYPOCOTYL EXPLANTS OF CITRULLUS LANATUS THUNB.
Abstract
Adventitious shoot regeneration from hypocotyl explants was examined in Citrullus lanatus Thunb. Hypocotyl explants of 2,3.4,5 and 6 week old seedlings when cultured on LS medium containing BA, Kn, Zip with or without 0.5-1.Q mg/l IAA showed that 1.0 mg/l BA and 1.0 mg/l IAA proved ideal for shoot differentiation from 2 week old hypocotyl explants. Shoots elongated on the medium with 0.5 mg/l GA3 and 0.1 mg/l BA and later rooted on half-strength MS medium containing 1.0 mg/l IBA.
