Evaluation and selection of superior snap melon (Cucumis melo var. momordica Duth. & Full.) genotypes using morphological, yield, and selected fruit quality traits
The snap melon (Cucumis melo var. momordica Duth. & Full.), recognized for its characteristic fruit splitting at maturity, is a nutritious and resilient cucurbit with considerable potential for crop improvement. However, systematic breeding efforts remain limited due to low genetic variability present in available germ...
