  1. Description: CT (colchicine treatment); K0 (control); K1 (0.025%); K2 (0.05%); K3 (0.075%); K4 (0.1%); FL (fruit length); FD (fruit diameter), FF (thickness of fruit flesh), FW (fruit weight); NF/P (number of fruit per plant); NS/F (number of seed per fruit); WS (weight of 100 seeds). Data represent the mean ± SD of three replicates. The letters following the numbers within a column indicate a significantly different at P < 0.05 according to Duncan multiple range test. Plants were 5 months old
