A STUDY ON TRANSFERING OF MONOECIOUS AND VIRESCENT CHARACTERS TO THE BREEDING LINES OF MUSKMELON (CUCUMIS MELO L.) |

| Abstract:
Transfering monoecious and virescent characters to muskmelon varieties were begun in 1985 and 1990 respectively. Genetic studies were done also. Chi-square analysis of the data indicated the monoecious character is controlled by a dominate gene (A), the virescent character is controlled by a single recessive gene (V). These studies confirmed the previous reports. After a series of crossing, backcrossing and self-pollinatin, three stable and available breeding lines were be developed, such as: Zuisian monoecious and K6–16 monoecious breeding lines; K2–15 virescent monoecious breeding line; These lines could be useful in hybrid seed production and seedling identification. | |
