Title
Genetic divergence in bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl.)

Summary
Twenty-eight accessions of bottle gourd (L. siceraria) collected from different parts of Kerala, India, were evaluated during 1998/99 for their genetic divergence using Mahalanobis D2 statistics. Based on D2 values of 17 yield related characters, accessions were grouped into eight clusters. Clustering pattern indicated that there was no association between geographical distribution of accessions and genetic divergence. The characters such as number of fruits per plant, number of seeds per fruit, length of fruit, average fruit weight, vine length, and fruit set percentage had the greatest contribution to genetic divergence.
