Later, his studies showed that estrogens promoted female flower development in
Ecballium elaterium, while androgens increased the number of male flowers (Kopcewicz, 1971).

Similar results were supported by Attard and Spiteri, (2001) who demonstrated that media containing 5 mg/1 NAA did not support the high percentage for callus induction in
Ecballium elaterium [8].

The effect of auxin type on secondary metabolite synthesis was studied in the tissue culture of
Ecballium elaterium. Higher yields of cucurbitacin B (1.126%) were obtained from stem node callus cultures in the presence of BA (1 mg/1) and NAA (0.1 mg/1) compared with the yield obtained from raw plant material (0.01%) as stated by Toker et al.
Hodgsonia macrocarpa is a vigorous climber that may extend 80 feet into the canopy, and
Ecballium elaterium, commonly called the squirting cucumber, explosively ejects seeds from its long neck.
