Chromosome variations in the plants regenerated from leaf explants ofCucumis meloL. cv. ‘Pusa sharbati’

Abstract: SUMMARYThe present communication deals with the cytological analysis of plants regenerated in vitro from leaf explants of Cucumis melo L. cv. ‘Pusa sharbati’. The regenerants were variously multiplied in vitro prior to studying their ploidy level. Cytological analysis revealed that plants raised through leaf culture were euploid and aneuploid at diploid, tetraploid and octaploid levels. The ploidy level of regenerants increased with increase in the period of shoot culture on shoot multiplication medium. Among regenerants tetraploids were more frequent than octaploids and diploids.
