Ontogeny of somatic embryos in cucumber (cucumis sativus L.)
Suspension culture of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) has been an inefficient method for production of somatic embryos owing to problems with embryo maturation and conversion. Embryogenic callus of cv. Green Long w...

Breakage of resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus by co-infection with Zucchini yellow mosaic virus: enhancement of CMV accumulation independent of symptom expression
Resistance to the cucumovirus Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in cucumber cv. Delila was manifested as a very low level of accumulation of viral RNA and capsid protein, and an absence of CMV-induced symptoms. In addi...

A Histological Analysis of Regeneration in Watermelon
The optimization of regeneration protocol for different genotypes increases the yield in transformation studies. Cotyledon explants of watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb) Matsum & Nakai] cv Crimson Sweet were c...

Shoot production in squash (Cucurbita pepo) by in vitro organogenesis
Seedling-derived cotyledon explants of squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) of commercial cultivars True French, Ma'yan and Goldy were regenerated in vitro on Murashige and Skoog medium augmented with 1 mg/l benzyladenine....

A novel pathway for rapid shoot regeneration from the proximal zone of the inpocotyl of melon (Cucumis melo L.)
Hypocotyl explants of melon (Cucumis melo L.) are capable of regenerating multiple shoots on Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium, augmented with 4.4 μM benzylademne. Regeneration from the hypocotyl is much more rap...

In vitro studies on the anatomy and morphology of bud regeneration in melon cotyledons
The anatomy and morphology of bud regeneration were investigated in melon (Cucumis melo L.) cv. Galia, which regenerates in vitro only by direct organogenesis from the cotyledon explant. Explants were cut from th...

Photocontrol of hypocotyl elongation in light-grown Cucumis sativus L.
The control by phytochrome of hypocotyl elongation of light-grown Cucumis sativus L. after a white-light period was examined. The farred-absorbing form of phytochrome inhibits hypocotyl elongation. The response t...

Photocontrol of hypocotyl elongation in light-grown Cucumis sativus L.
An interaction is demonstrated between the effects of phytochrome and cryptochrome (the specific blue-light photoreceptor) in the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation of light-grown cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cv...

The control of food mobilisation in seeds of Cucumis sativus L.
The degradation of neutral lipid and the development of lipase activity in cucumber cotyledons is stimulated by white light. Malate synthase and isocitrate lyase activities show no stimulation. Lipase activity...
