Evaluation and selection of superior snap melon (Cucumis melo var. momordica Duth. & Full.) genotypes using morphological, yield, and selected fruit quality traits.

Abstract excerpt

The snap melon (Cucumis melo var. momordica Duth. & Full.), recognized for its characteristic fruit splitting at maturity, is a nutritious and resilient cucurbit with considerable potential for crop improvement. However, systematic breeding efforts remain limited due to low genetic variability present in available germplasm and the relationships among yield and selected fruit quality traits. This study evaluated...
