“…The characters number of seeds /fruit and weight of seeds/fruit having high GCV, heritability and GA(%) are under the influence of additive gene action. It may be concluded that the genotypes Kashi Surbhi and Kashi Dhawal can be recommended for cultivation in Odisha (Pradhan et al 2018). Pandey et al (2008) have attempted to assess the genetic diversity among 34 accessions of Benincasa hispida using quantitative traits and RAPD data.…”

Ash gourd or wax gourd (Benincasa hispida), a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, is cultivated throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Fruits may be consumed immature (usually cooked or pickled) or mature (used in soups), and can also be used in confectionary. Apart from its nutritional value, wax gourd has also long been valued in Ayurvedic medicine. Current breeding efforts in wax gourd are focused on assessing available genetic diversity and the potential for heterosis. Research advances, including origin and geographic distribution, taxonomy, botanical description, genetic diversity, genetic resources, genetic improvement (cultivar groups, uses, breeding, and cultivars/varieties/hybrids), nutritional value of fruit, health benefits of fruit, ash gourd juice, ethnic/cultural significance regarding ash gourd are reviewed in this article. This review article provides a reference for basic and applied research on ash gourd, an important Cucurbitaceous vegetable crop

“…Such studies are also useful in selection of parents for hybridization to recover superior transgressive segregants. Since such studies are very meager the present investigation was carried out with a set of varieties and landraces of ash gourd (Pradhan et al 2018). Ash gourd is graft-compatible with muskmelon scion.…”

“…Benincasa is a monotypic genus with a single cultivated species [Benincasa hispida (Thunb.) Cogn, 2n = 2x = 24] (Pradhan et al, 2020). The importance of the species is given by its cultural and collective value in food, nutrition, biomedicine, traditional medicine and pharmacological industry, beverages, charcuterie, delicatessen, handicrafts, cultural and religious traditions, among others (Chomicki et al, 2020).…”

“…The fruits can be cylindrical, oblong or rounded, depending on the cultivar; provided with a thick wax in the epidermis when they mature and reach a weight of up to 13.67 kg (Pandey et al, 2015). The seeds, located in the center of the fruit, are oval-elliptical, flattened, smooth and colored light yellow, they measure between 1.0 and 1.5 cm long and 0.5 to 0.8 cm wide, however, their dimensions vary with the shape of the fruit (Pradhan et al, 2020).…”

The objective of the study was to evaluate the morphometry, viability and germination of B. hispida seeds, at the Universidad de Córdoba, Colombia. Eight biometric characteristics were measured in a sample of seeds taken at random from a balanced compound originating from 50 fruits. The external and internal morphological description was made on a sample of 10 seeds. Seed viability was estimated by the tetrazolium test, using the combination of two staining times (2 and 3 hours) and three concentrations of (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%), under a design completely randomized, with six treatments and four repetitions of 50 seeds. The germination test (PRUGER) was performed in a mesh house with four repetitions of 50 seeds to estimate eight physiological parameters of germination. The morpho-metric characteristics of thickness, length and width of seeds showed reduced phenotypic variation, compared with the weight, density and volume of a seed, with variation coefficients greater than 11.7%. The seed, ovoid and flattened, presents an embryo with its cotyledons wrapped in a protective membrane. The viability, determined with tetrazolium, was 89.5-96.5%, while the PRUGER was 100%, with no statistical differences between them (P≥0.05). The combination of 0.5% tetrazolium with 2 hours is sufficient to determine the viability of the seed. Germination elapsed from 6 to 19 days after sowing, with a germination speed index of 0.22, average daily germination of 5.26%, peak value of 5.33 and germination value of 28.
