Heterosis Studies in Bitter Gourd

International Journal of Vegetable Science, 2015
ABSTRACTImprovement in yield quantity and quality of bitter gourd, Momordica charantia L., cannot be accomplished through traditional methods. Heterosis breeding may be used to achieve this goal. A partial diallel mating design was used to evaluate standard heterosis to increase yield and quality by identification of a unique cross combination with ...

New Initiatives in Quick Bitter Gourd Breeding

2020
Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) is an important vegetable crop known for its anti-diabetic properties. This crop is native to Indian regions, and therefore a significant diversity is recorded in this species in this region. Among the species identified so far, only seven species are believed to be distributed in India, and the rest of the species
