Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate genetic diversity in Momordica dioica by examining various traits in 21 accessions, using methods like the best linear unbiased predictor (BLUPs) for analysis.
- - Key traits like fruit weight, yield per plant, and vine length were found to contribute significantly to growth and yield characteristics, leading to the identification of three clusters, with group III housing the most genotypes.
- - Various genetic parameters, including heritability and genetic variability, were calculated, showing high phenotypic and genotypic variability for several traits, such as vine length and fruit weight, indicating good potential for trait-specific line development.
Article Synopsis
- - The study conducted at ICAR-Central Horticultural Experiment Station aimed to assess genetic variability in 26 gynoecious Coccinia accessions to develop specific trait lines, using analyses like principal component and cluster analysis over two years (2020-2022).
- - Significant genetic variability was observed in various traits, with high values for parameters such as number of female flowers, fruit yield, and total soluble solids, suggesting that selection for these traits could enhance fruit yield.
- - The analysis revealed strong positive correlations between fruit yield and traits like vine length, number of female flowers, and fruit diameter, indicating potential pathways for improving fruit yield through targeted breeding efforts.
