Inheritance studies in two musk-melon crosses, Hara Madhu X Japenese Cantaloupe and Hara Madhu X New Melon were conducted during the year 1969–70 at the Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. Colour of rind, colour of flesh and juiciness showed monogenic control with dominance of green rind over yellow, white flesh over green flesh and less juicy flesh over juicy. Absence of sutures was controlled by two pairs of dominant genes with the complementary and supplementary relationship.
