| Abstract | ||
| This research was performed at Agriculture Research Station, Ismailia, Egypt during the period of 2019 and 2020 to evaluate some inbred lines of Snake cucumber for some economic characters and determine their variability, heritability and correlation. The study consisted of twenty-three Snake cucumber inbred lines arranged in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. Results indicated the presence of substantial variability among the genotypes. The high estimates of genotypic coefficient of variation, phenotypic coefficient of variation and broad-sense heritability for all studied characters indicated that they were highly heritable and selection can be imposed. The phenotypic correlation for total yield/plant with number of fruits/plant, sex ratio and fruit weight were significant. However, the inbred lines 4, 14 and 17 had the best yield and fruit quality. Thus, it is recommended for an effective selection of those characters which could be selected for cultivar improvement and cross breeding program. | ||
