Haploids and doubled haploids play a crucial role in the process of plant breeding. Ovary culture has proven to be an
effective method for generating double haploid (DH) plants in cucumbers. The objective of this study was to optimize
culture media conditions for gynogenesis induction in vitro to broaden morphogenetic possibilities and accelerate the
creation of homozygous lines. The effects of seven different induction culture media on embryo and plant development
in the ovary culture of Beith Alpha-type and Silor-type cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) were investigated. Ovary culture
experiments were conducted during the fall and spring seasons with 26 Beith Alpha-type and 11 Silor-type cucumber
genotypes at the F2 and F3 generations. The results revealed that the most successful outcomes were obtained from
genotypes coded HTB20, HTB24 and HTB25 of the Beith Alpha-type and HTS4 and HTS5 of the Silor-type. The findings
also demonstrated that explants cultured in the autumn season showed higher regeneration efficiency compared to those
cultured in spring. Overall when compared to Silor types, Beith Alpha types exhibited a more favorable response in terms
of plant regeneration and embryo development, depending on genotype.
