我国葫芦科植物离体培养研究进展

Abstract Many melon vegetables are included in Cucurbitaceae, and in vitro culture of Cucurbitaceae is very important. This paper reviewed recent research progress on tissue culture,somatic embryogenesis, anther culture, protoplast culture and somatic hybridization, as well as genetic transformation of Cucurbitaceae in China. The prospects of in vitro culture, genetic transformation and breeding of these plants were predicted.
