Comparison of Storage Tolerance of 20 Momordica Sinensis Germplasm Resources
The storage time of bitter melon is short,and it is easy to be damaged during transporta-tion,which accelerates the aging of commodity melon and affects the edible value.Therefore,the stor-age capacity of bitter melon is very important for commercial melons.In this paper,by comparing the sensory quality,hardness and soluble solid content of 20 germplasm resources of bitter gourd stored for 0d,2d,4d,6d and 8d under the same conditions,the storage resistance was analyzed,and three germplasm resources with relatively high storage resistance were selected to provide reference for im-proving storage resistance of bitter gourd and breeding resources with high storage resistance.
