Wild species of the genusCucumis, such asC. anguria, are resistant to various melon (C. melo) diseases such as Fusarium wilt race 1.2 and are anticipated as genetic resources of melon. However, in the interspecific crosses betweenC. anguriaand melon, the abortion of the embryos was observed in the early growth stage and could not be regenerated even when cultured. Therefore, for embryo rescue, it is necessary to promote embryo growth during abortion occurrence. This study investigated the effects of fruit heating on embryo growth in interspecific hybrids ofC. anguriaand melon. In the heating device, the minimum night temperature around the fruit was maintained above 21.5 °C. The ovule grain area ofC. anguria× MR-1 with fruit heating was significantly enlarged compared to that without fruit-heating. It was also significantly enlarged compared with the ovule grain area ofC. anguriaself-pollination. Although, inC. anguria× MR-1 without fruit-heating, no embryo was observed until 10 days after pollination (DAP), and pre-embryos were observed at 13 DAP. Conversely, inC. anguria× MR-1 with fruit-heating, pre-embryos were even observed at 10 DAP. These results suggest that the possibility of embryo or ovule culture regeneration has increased due to embryo growth promotion.
