ABSTRACT:
A method involving somatic embryogenesis of various squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) tissues is described which can be used for the regeneration of normal squash plants. This method is also used for the transfer and integration of genetic materials into the genome of squash plants, which belong to the family Cucurbitaceae, followed by regeneration of such transformed plants. Thus regenerated transformed whole squash plants are produced by this method.
