Abstract: Angled luffa( Luffa acutangula L.) is a major vegetable gourd in South China. Two angled luffa varieties Haida 1 and 2 and the progenies of their reciprocal cross were planted in the garden to evaluate the inheritance of their major traits and their heterosis with a view to provide theoretical reference for heterosis breeding in angled luffa. The results showed that the first filial generation of the cross between Haida 1 and Haida 2 exhibited a genetic trait of heterosis. The F1 progenies grew more vigorous and slightly highly tolerant to diseases and their fruits sold well in the market. The F1 progeny of the direct cross between Haida 1 and 2 yielded 67 534. 5 kg·hm- 2,higher than its parents,and hence is very competitive in the market.
