Abstract
Hypocotyl explants from 7 days old seedlings of one $F_1$ hybrid cultivar and two pure lines of cucumber formed embryogenic calli at frequencies of up to 8% when cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D for 3 weeks. Embryogenic calli gave rise to somatic embryos. When slices of somatic embryos were cultured on the same medium for 4 weeks, they formed embryogenic calli. Embryogenic cell suspension cultures were established with embryogenic calli in MS liquid medium with 1 mg/L 2,4-D. Embryogenic potential of cell suspension cultures was maintained by subculturing every seven days. When the level of 2,4-D in the medium was lowered to 0.2 mg/L by diluting with liquid MS basal medium, embryogenic cell suspension cultures underwent development into numerous somatic embryos. When plated onto MS basal medium, over 95% of somatic embryos developed into plantlets. Plantlets were transplanted to potting soil and grown to maturity.
발아 7일된 오이 (Cucumis sativus L.) F$_1$ 5품종과 순계 4품종의 하배축 절편을 1mg/L 2,4-D가 첨가된 MS고체배지에 치상하여 3주간 배양하였다. F$_1$ 1품종과 순계 2품종에서 발달한 캘러스의 8%이하에서 체세포배가 발생하였다. 체세포 배 절편을 동일한 배지에 4주간 배양하여 배발생캘러스를 유도하였다. 배발생캘러스는 동일조성의 MS액체배지에 현탁되어 증식하였다. 액체배지에서 배발생캘러스는 수많은 체세포 배로 발달하였으며, 생장조절제가 첨가되지 않은 MS기본배지에서 95%이상의 체세포배가 식물체로 발아하였다. 재분화된 식물체는 화분에서 생육되어 개화 후 착과하였다.
