EVALUATION OF AGRONOMIC TRAITS OF SPONGE GOURD (LUFFA CYLINDRICA) INBRED LINES UNDER PLASTIC HOUSE IN THUA THIEN HUE
Summary: In order to establish pure lines of sponge gourds containing aroma features, we selected the desirable inbred lines by using a self-pollinating method. The present study was performed to estimate the morphological traits and fruit quality of six sponge gourd inbred lines which generated at the 4th generation of an aroma Luffa accession B29 under plastic house conditions. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications from May to November 2016. Five plants per replication were examined. The results indicated that all inbred lines could grow well under the cultivated conditions. The inbred lines had the same stem and leaf traits; while the fruit shape, skin colour and fruit veins colour were different among the lines. The aromatic trait retained in all the inbred lines either before or after cooking. A high yield was found in lines BC1 and BC2 with 10.1 ton/ha and 10.7 ton/ha, respectively. These inbred lines should be examined under open field conditions to confirm the presence of aromatic trait and yield potential before the completion of the procedures for the recognition of new Luffa varieties.
