Polyploidization Facilitates Biotechnological In Vitro Techniques in the Genus Cucumis

Figure 2

The comparison of successful fertilization (% of growing pollen tubes) after in vitro pollination between 2x cucumber (IP without OT) and 2x/4x cucumber plants (IP with OT) with other Cucumis species. Abbreviations: CSS, CSM, and CMx: set of tested Cucumis spp., CSSO: mixoploid C. sativus obtained after OT; IP: in vitro pollination; OT: oryzalin treatment; Y-error bars represent standard deviations.
