Abstract

Rapid micropropagation of Cucumis sativus var. Dastgerdi (Iranian cultivar) by Node Culture Technique Tissue culture can be used in developing an efficient method for production of valuable and enduring indigenous cultivars. A short-term protocol for plantlet proliferation by using nodal segments was developed for Cucumis sativus, local cultivar from Isfahan; known as Dastgerdi as a tolerant cultivar to the root-knot nematode. Nodal explants were cultured on MS medium containing various concentrations of KIN (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5mg.l-1) in combination with IBA (0, 0.025 and 0.5mg.l-1). The best response for proliferation rate (100%), mean number of nodes per plantlet (6.01) and percentage of rooted In vitro propagated shoots were observed on medium supplemented by KIN (1.5mg.l-1) after about 3-4 weeks. The maximum length (5.43cm) of micro-shoots obtained on MS medium with KIN (1mg.l-l) + IBA (0.025mg.l-1).
