Genetic distance and heterosis in interspecific crosses of capsicum
(Kerala Agricultural University, 1986) Krishnakumari, K; Peter, K V
Significant heterosis was observed for plant height, days to flower, days to first harvest, days to maturity, fruits/plant, green fruit yield/plant, seeds/fruit and seed yield/plant in 10 interspecific F1 hybrids of chilli. Jwala and Green Chuna were the farthest while K2 and Ornamental Type, the nearest. Maximum oleoresin was in Jwala (16.83%) and in the hybrids, Jwala x Ornamental Type (16.6%).
Combining ability analysis in capsicum annuum
(Kerala Agricultural University, 1992) Girija Devi, T; Peter, K V
Combining ability analysis revealed the preponderance of additive gene action for green fruit yield per plant in chilli. Non-additive gene action controlled expression of plant height and days to first green fruit harvest.
