First, the Shannon No. 1 gourd breeding Shannon No. 1 gourd is the Department of Horticulture, Shandong Agricultural University to R89-3-7-5 strong female line as the female parent, 89-435 inbred line as the male parent prepared Generation of hybrids. After many years of multi-point product ratio test showed that Shannong 1 than the control “Qixing” increased yield 38.56%, than “a series of bell ” melons by
