Embryoid formation by fragments of cotyledons and hypocotyls in Cucurbita pepo.
After a prolonged culture on Murashige-Skoog medium the primary explants of hypocotyls and cotyledons of the pumpkin develop embryoid-producing callus tissue. Ten separate strains of such tissue have been obtained and have now been in culture for more than one year, continuing to produce embryoids.
