Microproagation of fluted pumkin by enhanced axilary shoot formation
In a bid to develop protocols for micropropagation of fluted pumkin (Telfairia occidentalis), single node cuttings of two genotypes, Telfairia occidentalis white and Telfairia occidentalis orange (ToW-1 and ToR-1 respectively) were cuItured in Murashige and Skoog medium but with four different combi...

The highest number of nodes per plantlet was obtained in the medium containing l=litre2.0mg/l kinetin which indicates suitability for micropropagation purposes. There was however, lack of root formation: Premature senescence was also significantly predminant in ToR-1 relative to ToW1. Optimum medium for Telfairia micropropagation appears to be genotype | ||
