A full diallel cross of 6 × 6 snake gourd pure lines were analyzed, adopting graphical approach. The regression line of V
r , Wr graph intersected the Wr axis well above the origin for the traits fruit length, fruit girth, flesh thickness, single fruit weight and number of seeds per fruit. This indicated the presence of partial dominance in the inheritance of these traits. For the traits viz., number of fruits and fruit yield per plant, the regression line of Vr Wr graph intersected the Wr axis below the origin. This indicated the existence of over dominance in the inheritance of these traits. The relative value Vr and Wr showed that the high yielding genotypes viz., P4 - Michaelpalayam local (Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu) and P1 - Hessaraghatta local (Bangalore, Karnataka) had most dominant genes for fruit yield per plant. The other high yielding genotypes P2 - Ottanchathiram local (Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu) had most recessive genes for fruit yield per plant. The proximity of the points in Vr , Wr graph revealed sufficient amount of genetic diversity among the parents used in the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
