Abstract
The research was carried out by individual selection of two types(long
shape-round shape) of the local musk melon in two successive years in Syria,
Deir Ezzor. the study shows distinctive dominant of long shape in some
biological characteristics especially in(beginning of flower season) this
increases early production and strength of vegetative growth, and reflects on
productivity characters especially fruit's number and productivity, on the
contrary, there is no distinctive differences in most fruit's characteristics
especially in chemical characteristics between both types(long shape-round
shape).
The study also shows generally dominant of fathers on first generation
in some characters and for each type, study of Degree bequest allows to do the
individual selection to improve musk melon.
