At the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India, three tropical gynoecious cucumber (Cucumis sativus) lines namely 87-304 (GYC-1), 87-319 (GYC-2) and 87-338 (GYC-3) were developed by More and Seshadri (1988). These lines were utilized to develop tropical gynoecious hybrids. Some of these hybrids viz., DCH 1 and DCH 2 are promising for high productivity and fruit quality both under open field and greenhouse cultivation.
