Abstract
In vitro organogenesis was achieved from callus derived from hypocotyl explants of Cucumis sativus L. cv. Poinsett 76. Calli were induced from hypocotyl explants excised from 7-d-old seedlings grown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 87.64 µM sucrose, 0.8 % agar, 3.62 µM 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid and 2.22 µM 6-benzyladenine (BA). Regeneration of adventitious buds from callus (25 shoots explant-1) was achieved on MS medium supplemented with 8.88 µM BA, 2.5 µM zeatin and 10 % coconut water after two subcultures in the same medium at 30-d interval. Gibberellic acid (1.75 µM) favoured shoot elongation and indole 3-butyric acid (7.36 µM) induced rooting. Rooted plants were hardened and successfully established in soil.
