Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated variation in organogenic competence among plants within a population of Cucumis melo. In order to determi ne if leaf explant response is under genetic control, we investigated the distribution of the shoot regeneration frequency in F-1 and F-2 ge nerations from parents representing extreme values for in vitro organo genic response. Results suggest a genetic model with two genes, partia l dominance, independent segregation and similar effects for both gene s.
