Interrelations among fruit and seed characteristics of hulled seeded oil pumpkin cultivar Olivija

Abstract

The results obtained by analysis of interrelations among fruit and seed characteristics of hulled seeded oil pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) cv. Olivija suggest that the fruit weight, seed weight per fruit, seed mass and seed oil content could be changed and combined as required due to a weak correlation between these characteristics. The fresh seed weight per fruit is a reliable estimator of the dry seed weight per fruit. The most important component of the seed weight per fruit has been the seed number per fruit. .

Rezultati analize međuzavisnosti osobina ploda i semena uljane tikve sa ljuskom (Cucurbita pepo L.) cv. Olivija ukazuju da se u procesu oplemenjivanja masa ploda, masa mesa, masa semena po plodu, masa semena i sadržaj ulja mogu kombinovati po želji s obzirom na slabu korelaciju između ovih osobina. Masa vlažnog semena po plodu može da posluži za veoma pouzdanu procenu mase suvog semena po plodu. Najvažnija komponenta mase semena po plodu je broj semena po plodu. .
