Summary

In Lagenaria leucantha a number of parents as well as their crosses with different fruit shape, colour and taste were grown for genetical studies.

The fruit shape segregated in the crosses as given below:—

(a) Conical X Tumari— Monohybrid basis— 3 tumari: 1 conical.

(b) Club X Tumari— Dihybrid basis— 9 bottle: 3 club: (modified) 4 tumari.

(c) Round x Club— Monohybrid basis— 1 round: 2 interme- (modified) diate: 1 club.

The fruit colour character in the crosses inherited on a monohybrid basis in the ratio of 3 patchy: 1 white.

The inheritance of fruit taste is determined by a single factor, bitter being dominant over sweet.

Multiple factors seem to be responsible for fruit maturity and seed size inheritance
