Abstract
The present investigation was carried out using 22 exotic and indigenous bitter gourd lines and 23 hybrids. A field experiment was designed in a randomized block design with three replications. The samples of each genotype were analysed for chlorophylls, total carotenoids and lycopene content. Total chlorophyll content was recorded highest in genotype S-54 (488.1 μg g-1 fresh weight) and among hybrids in hybrid BIGH - 6 (81.5 μg g-1 fresh weight). The total carotenoids content was maximum in genotype DBG 7 (32.3 μg g-1 fresh weight) and among hybrids in hybrid DBGy-201 × DBG-34 (27.5 μg g-1 fresh weight) and lycopene content was highest in S 37 (21.9 μg g-1 fresh weight and in hybrid DBGy-201 × DBG-34 (15.1μg g-1 fresh weight). The genotypes with better fruit quality traits can be utilized in future breeding programme
