<br/><br/> Melon is among the most important vegetable crops of the CucurbitaceaeThis investigation was attempting to establish an efficient regeneration system for melon and to produce transgenic plants tolerant to salt stressRegeneration system of the melon cultivar Shahd El - Dokki was improved by using the proximal zone of the hypocotyl melon as explantThis decreased the time for shoot regeneration from 6 - 8 weeks with cotyledons to 2 - 3 weeks with hypocotylAlthough the shoot regeneration frequency was higher with cotyledons (843
