| Abstract: | Organogenic callus induction and high frequency shoot regeneration were achieved from cotyledon explants of cucumber. About 86.2% of cotyledon explants derived from 5-day-old in vitro raised seedlings produced green, compact nodular organogenic callus in MS medium containing NAA (2.69 μM) and BA (4.44 μM) after two successive transfers at 20 days interval. Adventitious shoots were produced from the organogenic callus when it was transferred to MS medium supplemented with NAA (1.34 μM), BA (8.88 μM), zeatin (0.91 μM) and l-glutamine (136.85 μM) with shoot induction frequency of 75.6%. Shoot proliferation occurred when callus with emerging shoots was transferred in the same medium at an interval of 20 days. Shoots (1.0 cm length) were excised from callus and were elongated in MS medium fortified with GA3 (1.44 μM) and BA (4.44 μM). The elongated shoots were rooted in MS medium supplemented with IBA (3.42 μM) and BA (4.44 μM). Rooted plants were acclimatized in green-house and subsequently established in soil with a survival rate of 80%. This protocol yielded an average of 35 shoots per cotyledon explant in a culture duration of 120–140 days. |
