Significance GCA and SCA reported almost in all yield and quality attributes.

Prevalence of Non-
additive gene effects reprted for days before the female flower anthesis, fruit number per plant, fruit yield
and weight of seeds (Nascimento et al 2019, Lippert and Legg 1972, Kalb and Davis 1984b and Abadia et
al 1985 and Santos et al 2017). However, additive gene also reported in fruit yield and number of fruits
per plant (Ahmed et al 2012, Brar and Sukhija 1977, El-Meghawry et al. 2002, Abd El-Salam and El-
Ghareeb 2007 and Gili and Kumar 1988 Feysian et al 2009 ,Singh and Randahawa 1990, Kitroongruang
et al. 1992 and Zalapa et al 2006)

Pre eminse of additive gene action recorded for fruit weight, fruit length, fruit width, number of
seed per fruit TSS (Nascimento et al 2019, Santos et al 2017, Gvozdanovic-Varga et al 2011, GUSMINI
and WEHNER 2007, Gvozdanovic-Varga et al 2011, FERREIRA et a.l 2002, SOUZA et al. 2002 and
EL-MEGHAWRY et al. 2002, Ahmed et al 2012, Borros et al 2011, Gili and Kumar 1988, Salim 1989,
El-Maghawry et al. 2002, Abd El-Salam and El-Ghareeb 2007 and El-Shoura 2007),

Nascimento et al (2019) reported. The length of the main branch showed simultaneous additive and non-
additive action that controls the trait.

Sapovadiya et al (2014) estimated pre eminence of non-additive genetic action for all traits

Kumar (2005) Non additive gene action played greater role in inheritance of all quantitative traits.

Brar and Sukhija (1977) reported significant GCA estimates for earliness and sugar content while
singnificant SCA estimates for earliness only.

Sachan and Nath (1976) Additive gene action governed in all traits whereas in case of number of fruits
and yield, non-additive gene action was predominant

fruit weight (Jelica GVOZDANOVIC-VARGA et a 2011, GUSMINI and WEHNER (2007) and sugar
content (FERREIRA et a.l 2002, SOUZA et al. 2002 and EL-MEGHAWRY et al. 2002)

Significance GCA and SCA noticed almost all yield and quality attributes. Prevalence of Non-
additive gene effects noticed for days before the female flower anthesis, fruit number per plant (, fruit
yield and weight of seeds (Nascimento et al 2019, ), fruit yield (Lippert and Legg 1972), Kalb and Davis
1984b and Abadia et al 1985). fruit number per plant, yield per plant, dry seed weight (Santos et al 2017),

Pre eminse of additive gene action recorded for fruit weight , fruit length , fruit width,
TSS(Nascimento et al 2019), fruit length, numbers of fruits per plant, average weight of the fruit and dry
weight of the seeds (Santos et al 2017), Fruit weight(Gvozdanovic-Varga et al 2011, GUSMINI and
