This study aimed to investigate the regeneration capability of cell suspension derived from hypocotyl callus of the vegetable plant, muskmelon, Cucumis melo L. Culture of the densities (7.5, 9.8, 13.0, 11.2, 7.8, 4.2 )× 102 cell/ml produced callus primordia which formed typical callus culture successfully. This green – yellowish color and semi-compact callus regenerated shoots on agar solidified MS medium supplemented with 2.0mgL-1BA. These regenerates rooted readily in MS0 medium. They were adapted and routinely transferred to soil. The conclusion of this work that muskmelon plants have a good response to in vitro culture with no need to specific requirements.

A rapid and efficient protocol is outlined for in vitro propagation of muskmelon(Cucumis melo L.) Shoot tips, nodal segments and cotyledonary nodes from invitro grown seedlings were used as explants. The explants were inoculated on MS medium fortified with different combinations and concentrations of growthregulators viz., BAP, NAA, GA3 and IBA for multiple shoot regeneration.Effective result was found on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP, inwhich 90% and 70% cultures induced multiple shoots from nodal segments andshoot tip explants, respectively. Whereas, 70% cultures of cotyledonary nodeswere found to induced shoots on MS medium with 1.5 mg/l BAP + 0.1 mg/l GA3. In vitro regenerated shoots were subcultured on half strength MS mediumsupplemented with different concentrations of IBA and NAA for successful rootinduction and the effective result (up to 70%) was found in medium with 1 mg/lIBA. Well rooted in vitro grown plantlets were acclimatized in sandy soil, whereas 70% plantlets survived

The effect of sodium silicate (Si) for control of decay was tested in Hami melons (Cucumis melo L. var. inodorus Jacq.). Si significantly inhibited mycelial growth of Alternaria alternata, Fusarium semitectum, and Trichothecium roseum in vitro. Si at 100 mM was more effective than Si at 25 or 50 mM at controlling the diseases caused by the three pathogens, whereas Si at 200 mM was phytotoxic. Si treatments applied at 100 mM pre-inoculation with T. roseum had lower decay incidence and severity than treatments applied post-inoculation. The protection of Si was correlated with the activation of two families of defense-related enzymes, peroxidase and chitinase. Accumulation of both enzymes was induced in fruit treated with Si and challenged by T. roseum 24 h later, and was sustained for at least 9 days in ‘New Queen’ and 10 days in ‘8601’ at room temperature. It appeared that induced resistance was an important mechanism of disease control in Hami melons treated with Si.

The aim of this study was to estimate the content of polyphenols, flavonoids and tannins and to evaluate the antioxidant property and the antiulcer activity of the ethanolic extract of melon (Cucumis melo L. var. inodorus) pulp on ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in rats.  Ferric reducing power and hydroxyl radical scavenging tests were applied to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activity. The polyphenolic and flavonoids contents of    melon extract were found to be 56.5 ± 2.49 mg GAE/g of dry extract and 0.43 ± 0.09 mg QE/ g of dry extract, respectively. Whereas the tannins content was 48. 30 ±  0. 9 mg ETA/ g of dry extract.  Melon pulp  extract exhibited  a good reducing potential   with  an  EC50 of  4.23 ± 0.08 mg/ml and high hydroxyl radical scavenging activity with IC50 of  1.83± 0.09 mg/ml. Oral administration of the melon pulp extract at doses of  200 and 600 mg/kg to rats  reduced gastric mucosal lesions  dose-dependently  with percentage protection of 56.56 and 93.79% compared to omeprazole (95.92 %) as reference drug. These results showed that the melon pulp extract had a good antioxidant activity and gastroprotective potential suggesting it use as an adjuvant in the treatment of gastric ulcer.
