Study on Variety Optimization and Breeding Techniques for Summer Cucurbitaceae Vegetables

In the current year, a total of 53 bitter gourd lines were purified, from which 12 inbred lines were selected. 40 hybrid combinations were developed and evaluated during the summer season for heat tolerance, vegetative growth, flowering characteristics, and fruit traits. Among the white-skinned bitter gourd hybrids, three combinations, including 113H34, exhibited superior fruit quality that aligns with Taiwan’s domestic market preferences. Regarding the green-skinned hybrids, 13 combinations (e.g., 113H01) demonstrated excellent performance meeting the requirements of international target markets. Consequently, regional trial planning and testing for these promising elite combinations have been initiated.
