[Objective] The aim was to provide scientific basis for breeding on the fruit width of summer squash.[Method] Inheritance of the fruit width traits of summer squash in P1,P2,F1,BC1,BC2 and F2 from two crosses q-1×23-4G（cross 1）and q-1×A-7（cross 2）was investigated by the mixed major gene and polygene inheritance model of quantitative traits.[Result] The fruit width was controlled by B-1 model.Heritability values of the major genes of F2 were relatively high and the environmental effect was relatively low.[Conclusion] The fruit width breeding of summer squash should be selected in early generation selection.
[Objective]The aim was to provide scientific basis for breeding on the fruit length of summer squash.[Method]Inheritance of the fruit length of summer squash in P1,P2,F1,B1,B2 and F2 from two crosses q-1 ×23-4G（cross 1） and q-1 ×A-7（cross 2） was investigated by the mixed major gene and polygene inheritance model of quantitative traits.[Result]The results showed that the fruit length was controlled by D2 model;Genetic effect of fruit length of cross 1 was mainly additive effect,but genetic effect of fruit length of cross 2 was mainly dominant effect.Heritability values of the genes of F2 were relatively high and the environmental effect was relatively low.[Conclusion]The fruit length breeding of summer squash should be selected in early generation selection.
