Abstract To maximize the production of bisexual flowers of bitter melon（Momordica
charantia L.）gynoecious line through chemical induction, different concentrations of AgNO3 were treated at different seedling stages of the gynoecious line X Hei-d-d. The result indicated that the third complete leaf stage was important for the bisexual flower induction with AgNO3 treatments. The optimal AgNO3 concentration was 300 mg·L-1 for X Hei-d-d, and the best results were produced by treating two times with an interval of 5 days.
