GENETIC STUDIES OF F6 PROGENIES IN MUSKMELON (Cucumis melo L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 53
Abstract
Genetic variability, genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation, Heritability, genetic advance and Correlation analysis were undertaken for twenty four characters of muskmelon obtained from the cross IVMM-3 x Punjab Sunheri (C: 4 x 7) in F6 generation. Genotypic coefficient of variation was lower than the phenotypic coefficient of variations in all quantitative traits role of environment in the phenotypic expression of traits. High values of Genotypic coefficient of variation and phenotypic coefficient of variations in F6 generation for most of the character viz., final vine length, number of primary branches per vine, number of male flowers per vine, number of female flowers per vine, sex ratio, number of fruits per vine, fruit yield per vine, average weight of fruit, average rind thickness, average fruit cavity, average weight of pulp per fruit, average weight of seed per fruit, T.S.S. and acidity indicating presence of substantial amount of genetic variation.
