Abstract
Twelve characters were studied in the F1, F2 and backcross generations of the cross involving inbred lines of the Honey Dew (Cucumis melo var. inodorus) and orange melon (Oucumis melo var. Otate). The results are summarized in the following :
1— Leaf lobing in the Honey Dew parent is controlled by one dominant gene (L)J
2— onoecious sex habit of orange melon is governed by one major gene (A) dominant to that controlling andromonoecious habit of the Honey Dew.
5— Fruit colour at the immature and mature stages is
• inherited on a simple Mendelian basis. Dark green colour of immature fruit is dominant over white while orange colour of mature stage is dominant over cream. These two characters are completely associated. Two completely linked genes (Cl , 02) or possibly one gene C may be assumed for the expression of immature and mature fruit colour.
4— Salmon flesh colour is dominant over white. A one factor hypothesis (W—w) is postulated for the expression of this character.
