Fruit Formation

20% of the cucumber crop of the world belongs to the parthenocarp type. Parthenocarp cucumber forcing has a great importance in Hungary, too. In our country the whole area of parthenocarp cucumber forcing was approximately 500 ha of the last years (2000-2002) and 75-85000 tons of yield has been harvested (MGYSZT, 2003). It means 15 — 17 kg/m2 as an average yield. In European forcing systems, parthenocarp cucumber is usually planted in January or February and it is harvested in spring or early summer. In Hungary cucumber forcing is the most profitable in two separate periods: spring and autumn, the reason for it is the changes of the average prices of fresh market cucumber, but spring forcing is still the most profitable. Forced cucumber cultivars are mostly parthenocarp; non-parthenocarp cultivars are grown in summer preferably. Cucumber cultivars, forced in our country, are hybrids, and 90% of them are offered by foreign seed companies (KristOfne, 1998.). The productivity of these hybrids is high and the productive period is quite short. All the mentioned details give the reason why it is important to know everything about the productivity, the dynamics of growth, and the possibilities of timing of parthenocarp cultivars, and it is also important to learn how to control all these parameters. Our spring cucumber-forcing experiment aimed to characterize of those parameters mentioned.

Seed and seedling cotyledon explants from 14 cultivars were placed on 2 media types to induce organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis. Shoots or somatic embryos were counted to determine effects of cultivar, explant and regeneration type on overall regeneration success. Opposite explant preferences were observed for each regeneration type. In somatic embryogenesis, greater numbers of seedling cotyledons were able to respond, while in organogenesis, seed cotyledons responded in greatest numbers. However, within each cultivar, no explant preferences were observed (except in `Picklebush'). Four cultivars displayed a preference for the somatic embryogenesis regeneration protocol over organogenesis: `Burpee Hybrid II' and `Burpless F1 Hybrid' (fresh market types), and `Cross Country' and `Picklebush' (pickling types). The best individual regeneration rates were obtained with `Cross Country' and `Picklebush' - both for somatic embryogenesis.

This study aimed to observe (1) The formation of parthenocarpy fruit in cucumber with the application of Giberelin hormone and (2) the concentration of Giberelin to form the parthenocarpy fruit on cucumber. This study was held at campus 2 trial land, Faculty of Agriculture Cokroaminoto University, Palopo. The method used in this study was group randomized design method with five treatments and three replications, i.e P0 (without Giberelin application), P1 (200 mg/L Giberelin), P2 (250 mg/L Giberelin), P3 (300 mg/L Giberelin) and P4 (350 mg/L Giberelin). The result showed that the application of Giberelin with 350 mg/L concentration (P4) significantly affected the formation of parthenocarpy fruit on the number of seed produced with 379.96 seeds. The highest number of seeds produced was observed in control treatment (P0) with 496.27 seeds. Furthermore, the fruit fresh weight, diameter, and length had no significant difference

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is cultivated throughout the world as an important vegetable. This review offers an insight on the versatile use of cucumbers for cosmetic, culinary and therapeutic purposes. Epidemiological and nutritional studies have shown various benefits associated with the use of cucumber. As cosmetic, cucumber is popularly used for natural beautification and for skin treatments. As a vegetable, cucumber is the quintessential materials and indispensable for salads, soups and smoothie with diverse health benefits including weight loss, remedy for chronic constipation, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular and cancerous diseases among others. The use including weight loss, cosmetic, culinary and therapeutic purposes.
