Variability with respect to seed mellowness in pomegranate was studied in the hybrid seedlings resulting from intercultivar crosses comprising 17 parents. The proportion of very soft to soft seeded hybrids ranged from 4.88 per cent to 44.86 per cent. The sof seeded female parent G-137 had the highest rate of transmission of seed mellowness. It has been suggested that parents are heterozyous for seed mellowness and there are modifying factors affecting seed mellowness, probably an interaction between parents which modify seed mellowness expression.
