A 10 x 10 diallel analysis in F1 generation excluding reciprocals in sponge gourd [Luffa cylindrica (Roem.) L.] was carried out to identify good combiners and best combinations along with its heterotic effect. Mean square due to GCA and SCA were significant indicated that both additive and non-additive type of gene effects played an important role in the inheritance of all these traits under studied with preponderance of non-additive gene action for all the traits except fruit length. Parents Pusa Chikni, ASGS 08-37, ASGS 06-30 and JSG 05-7 were found to be the good general combiners for fruit yield and some of the yield contributing characters, whereas, parents ASGS 08-39 was found to be good combiner for earliness and ten fruit weight. | Nội dung Text Combining ability analysis in sponge gourd Luffa cylindrica Roem.
