Thirty one genotypes of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) were evaluated for 10 quantitative traits during
August 2016. Significant differences among bitter gourd genotypes indicated the presence of wide variation for
all the traits. All the 10 traits showed significant and positive association with yield. Genotype IIHR-147-4 took
the shortest time to first female flower appearance (26.57 days after planting). A close proximity in the phenotypic
and genotypic coefficients of variability was observed for peduncle length, fruit length, fruit girth, number of
fruits, fruit weight and fruit yield indicating little influence of environment for the expression of these traits.
High heritability was recorded for peduncle length, fruit length, fruit girth and fruit weight. Number of fruits
followed by fruit weight, fruit length and fruit girth exhibited maximum positive direct effect on fruit yield.
Principal component analysis revealed that first three principal components (PC1, PC2 and PC3) accounted for
72.28% of the total variation with the proportionate contribution values of 40.83, 17.43, and 14.01 respectively.
The genotypes were grouped in to four different clusters based on the genetic distance. The divergence value
for cluster analysis indicated that the genotypes from clusters I and II had the highest inter-cluster distance and
were expected to provide high heterosis if crossed and to show wide variability in genetic architecture.
