“…The crosses P 2 ×P 4 , P 2 ×P 5 and P 3 ×P 5 in F 2 and F 3 generations recorded the highest fruit width and fruit cavity. Similar result was reported by Yadav et al, (2008) in cucumber, The highest fruit thickness was recorded in P 2 ×P 4 , P 3 ×P 5 in F 2 and P 2 ×P 5 , P 3 ×P 6 in F 3 generation. Similar result was reported by Venugopalan and Pitchaimuthu (2009) in water melon, Manikandan (2012) in ash gourd and Tamilselvi et al, (2015) in pumpkin.…”

“…The crosses P 1 ×P 5 , P 2 ×P 5 and P 3 ×P 6 showed the best per se performance for vine length in both F 2 and F 3 generations. In general, crosses involving P 1 , P 2 and P 3 as the parents registered high values for vine length, as reported in earlier findings of Kumar et al, (2005), Raja et al, (2007) and Yadav et al, (2008), Tamilselvi (2010) in pumpkin and Karthik Reddy et al, (2013) in ridge gourd. The crosses P 1 ×P 5 , P 2 ×P 5 and P 3 ×P 6 obtained first female flower appearance in early node and less number of days to appearance of first female flower in both the generations.…”

Vegetables play an important role in the balanced diet by providing not only energy, but also by supplying vital protective nutrients like minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins. Consumption in sufficient quantity provides all required essential nutrients and a fair amount of fibres. Vegetables also play an important role in neutralizing the acids produced during digestion of proteins and fatty foods, and thus promote digestion and also prevent constipation. Apart from providing nutrition, vegetables provide protect

“…Among hybrids, crosses CO-1 x MCM-2 (5.24 cm) followed by Preethi x MCM-1(5.31 cm) and MCM-1 x Preethi (5.58 cm) registered lowest internodal values. The result obtained was found similar with findings of Rani et al [12], Kumari et al [14] and Yadav et al [18] in bitter gourd.…”

“…Among all parents, the highest fruit yield per plant was recorded in Preethi (0.94 kg) followed by CO-1 (0.85 kg) and MCM-2 (0.46) and among hybrids, cross combination CO-1 x MCM-2 (1.70 kg) followed by Preethi x MCM-1(1.54 kg) and MCM-1 x Preethi (1.40 kg) has recorded significantly higher fruit yield. Similar range of findings for this trait was recorded by Zehara et al [17], Thakur et al [7] and Yadav et al [18].…”

Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia ) is one of the most nutritional and commercially important vegetable crops of the family cucurbitaceae. In the present study, hybrids and parents of bitter gourd were assessed to study the per se performance for yield and quality attributes. A wide range of significant variation was observed among all parents and hybrids under study. Among the parents assessed, Preethi and CO-1 was found highly significant with regard to yield attributing characters viz., fruit weight, fruit yield per plant, fruit yield ha-1 and MCM-1, MCM-2 with regard to number of fruits per plant. The hybrids CO-1 x MCM-2 followed by Preethi x MCM-1 and MCM-1 x Preethi were recorded to be the top performing hybrids for all the quantitative characters like node of first female flower appearance, days taken to first flower appearance, days to 50% flowering, fruit length(cm), fruit girth(cm), fruit weight(g), internodal length(cm), vine length(cm), sex ratio, No of seeds per fruit, No. of fruits per plant, No. of harvest and yield per plant. High ascorbic acid and iron content was recorded in parents MCM-2 and Preethi while it was found maximum in hybrids, Preethi x MCM-1, CO-1 x MCM-2 and MCM-1 X Preethi. Hence based on performance of yield and quality, the hybrids, CO-1 x MCM-2, Preethi x MCM-1 and MCM-1 x Preethi were found to be superior and can be exploited for further studies.

“…Studies abound that report analyses of the nutrient content of locally important plant species. They can be found for nearly every country, for example Botswana (Legwaila et al 2011) on a range of traditional food plants, India on bitter gourd in connection with mildew resistance (Yadav et al 2009) and on minor millets (Yenagi et al 2010), Micronesia (Englberger et al 2006(Englberger et al , 2008 on local bananas and swamp taro, respectively, Nigeria on medicinal plants (Ekpa 1996), leafy vegetables (Aletor et al 2002) and amaranth (Akubugwo et al 2007), Papua New Guinea on the mineral composition of a range of locally available plants (Hongo et al 1989), South Africa (Flyman and Afolayan 2006;Odhav et al 2007) on wild and leafy vegetables, respectively, Tanzania on iron, zinc and β-carotene content of indigenous vegetables (Msuya et al 2009) and Zimbabwe on amaranth (Makobo et al 2010).…”

By the year 2050, agriculture will have to provide the food and nutrition requirements of some 9 billion people. Moreover, to maintain that level of productivity indefinitely it must do so using environmentally sustainable production systems. This task will be profoundly complicated by the effects of climate change, increasing competition for water resources and loss of productive lands. Agricultural production methods will also need to recognize and accommodate ongoing rural to urban migration and address a host of economic, ecological and social concerns about the 'high inputs/high outputs' model of present-day industrial agriculture. At the same time, there is a need to confront the unacceptable levels of continuing food and nutrition insecurity, greatest in the emerging economy countries of Africa and Asia where poverty, rapid population growth and climate change present additional challenges and where agriculture is practiced primarily by small-scale farmers. Within this context, we here review science-based evidence arguing that diversification with greater use of highly valuable but presently under-valorised crops and species should be an essential element of any model for sustainable smallholder agriculture. The major points of these development opportunity crops are presented in four sections: agricultural farming systems, health and nutrition, environmental sustainability and prosperity of the populations. For each section, these crops and their associated indigenous knowledge are reported to bring benefits and services when integrated with food systems. In this paper, we conclude that not only a change in policy is needed to influence behaviours and practices but also strong leadership able to synergize the various initiatives and implement an action plan.
