“…The fruit length of F 1 was very close to that of GK Muricata accession and showed incomplete dominance for short fruit length. This is in agreement with Kim et al (1990) and Zhang et al (2008), who reported that the fruit length of bitter gourd showed incomplete dominance and Kumari et al (2015) who reported that short fruit length is partially dominant over long fruit length. Furthermore, Behera et al (2008) reported that the fruit length of bitter gourd is controlled by a single dominant gene or few genes, as Muricata parental characteristics are expressed in the fruit length of F 1.…”

The present study was undertaken to ascertain the genetic control of external fruit colour, fruit length, and the number of fruits per vine in bitter gourd using reciprocal crosses of Momordica charantia var. muricata and M. charantia var. charantia and to identify suitable lines of M. charantia var. muricata to be used in bitter gourd improvement programmes. Muricata accession collected from Girandurukotte (GK), Sri Lanka, was selected as a suitable accession for crop improvement based on higher gynoecy and consistency of characteristics. Crossing success between Charantia and Muricata varieties was 100 % indicating cross-compatibility between the two types. External fruit colour, fruit length and the number of fruits per vine of bitter gourd were found to be quantitative traits, potentially controlled by many genes, each with a small effect. The number of fruits per vine was found to show cytoplasmic inheritance, as the F1 generation recorded fruit numbers per vine similar to those of Charantia varieties, when Charantia varieties were used as the female parent of the reciprocal crosses made between Charantia and Muricata varieties. However, the suspected cytoplasmic effect was not useful, as it influenced to reduce the number of fruits per vine. In addition, the number of fruits per vine showed several transgressive segregants in both extremes of the F2 populations. In bitter gourd improvement programmes, GK Muricata accession may be used to improve cultivated Charantia varieties with respect to fruit characteristics such as external fruit colour, fruit length and the number of fruits per vine through a breeding program with the directional selection made towards obtaining the desired characters.

“…Being originated in India, wide variations could be found for almost all characters including quantitative and qualitative traits like fruit colour and fruit ridge. Kim et al (1990) reported that small fruit was partially dominant over large fruit in population developed from a cross between large fruited (M. charantia var. charantia / maxima) × small fruited (M. charantia var.…”

Analysis of generation means in P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2 generations of two bitter gourd crosses viz., IIHR Sel-5-8 × IIHR-144-1 and Arka Harit × IIHR-144-1 were performed to determine the nature of gene action governing fruit traits. All the parents and generations differed significantly for the observed traits. For the cross IIHR Sel-5-8 × IIHR-144-1, Chi-square tests in the segregating generations for fruit colour and fruit ridge pattern were fitted well with the Mendelian phenotypic ratio of 3:1. This indicates that green fruit colour of bitter gourd is governed by single dominant gene and is dominant over white fruit colour. Fruit ridge pattern indicated that the discontinuous ridge of bitter gourd is also governed by monogenic dominant gene and is dominant over continuous ridge. All the quantitative traits studied (peduncle length, fruit length and fruit girth) showed non-allelic gene interaction in both the crosses indicating presence of epistatic gene action. Nature of gene action varied with the character and among crosses and both additive and non-additive gene action was involved in expression of the characters having the duplicate epistasis. This indicates use of reciprocal recurrent selection for improvement of these traits and also the possibilities of arriving at better transgressive segregants by selfing the hybrids developed using such selected materials.

In this study, the β-glucosidase activity and total phenolic and isoflavone contents and antioxidant activities during Cheonggukjang fermentation with bitter melon powder (BMP) were investigated and evaluation of the same was performed. The level of β-glucosidase activity was increased at 48 hr and decreased after 72 hr, and the total phenolic and isoflavone-malonylglycoside and aglycone contents increased, while the antioxidant activities increased, but the total isoflavone and isoflavone-glycoside contents decreased during the Cheonggukjang fermentation. In particular, the soybean with 5% BMP fermented at 37℃ for 72 hr displayed the highest antioxidant activities, among all the samples. The highest levels of total phenolic and daidzein contents and DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity and FRAP assay results after 72 hr fermentation in Cheonggukjang with 5% BMP were found to be 13.5 mg/g, 390.57 μg/g, 90.74%, 99.79%, and 1.705 (OD593 nm) respectively. In addition, the more BMP was added to the Cheoggukjang, the more the off-odor of the Cheonggukjang decreased. These results suggest that BMP can be used to come up with a new type of Cheonggukjang with improved palatability and antioxidant activity.
