CONTRIBUTION TO THE MICROPROPAGATION OF TRIPLOID WATERMELON
Triploid watermelon (Citrullus lanatus cv.
Erwyn) was propagated in vitro. It was established that the size of explants exerts a decisive effect on the success of proliferation.
Explants larger than 0.5 cm gave the best proliferation rate on a Murashige - Skoog medium (1962), in the presence of 0.1 mg NAA/l and 1.0 mg BA/l.
Explants shorter than 0.5 cm were much more inclined to callus formation.
Regeneration was achieved on half strength MS medium, in the absence of plant hormones.
