Cotyledonary explants of melon (Cucumis melo L. cv. Galia) regenerate primordia and buds in vitro induced by benzyladenine. The anti-gibberellin ancymidol can stimulate the rate of regeneration on melon explants in the presence of benzyladenine. Concentrations of benzyladenine plus ancymidol that are individually ineffective can act synergistically to stimulate regeneration. Gibberellic acid reduces the rate of regeneration induced by benzyladenine or benzyladenine plus ancymidol. Chemical names used: N-(phenylmethyl)-1H-purine-6-amine (benzyladenine); alpha-cyclopropyl-alpha-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-5-pyrimidine methanol (ancymidol).
