Direct Multiple Shoots Proliferation Of Muskmelon (Cucumis Melo (L.) From Shoot Tip Explants

Abstract

In vitro plantlet regeneration has been obtained from 20-25days old seedling shoot tip  segments of Cucumis melo (L.). We  were examined using various phyto hormones individually and in combination  on Murashige and Skoog (MS) semi solid medium supplemented with BAP (1.0-3.0 mg/L) Kn (1.0-3.0 mg/L),IAA (0.5 mg/L)+ BAP (1.0-3.0 mg/L) and IAA (0.5 mg/L)+Kn (1.0-3.0 mg/L) for multiple shoots proliferation IAA (0.5 mg/L)+BAP (2.0 mg/L) was proved to be best for induction of shoots for shoot tip explants. All regenerated plantlets were rooted on MS medium supplemented with (1.0 mg/L) IAA the regenerated plants grew normally in the green house.
