CONTRIBUTION TO THE MICROPROPAGATION OF TRIPLOID WATERMELON

M. HELMLE-JANOSI, A. MATHE, K. MOZSAR
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.
