Résumé / Abstract
Strategies based on the application of biotechnologies to crop improvement programmes generally require regeneration of whole plants from cells or tissues cultivated in vitro. In Cucurbitaceae, regeneration can occur either through a caulogenic or an embryogenic developmental pathway. Reports of somatic embryogenesis have dealt with the main cultivated crops, i.e. cucumber, melon, squash and watermelon. Somatic embryogenesis and plant recovery are obtained from numerous sources including protoplasts, but the best results are observed with explants coming from seedlings, especially cotyledons and hypocotyls. The genetic constitution of mother plants also seems to play a key role in the success of embryogenesis, but few systematic studies on genotype effect have been published
