Abstract: | Even though both additive and nonadditive gene effects were found to be important in the expression of the characters studied, the additive gene effects were having more influence than nonadditive gene effects. Number of primary branches was determined by additive and nonadditive genes, whereas number of secondary branches was influenced by additive genes. All the other nine characters were determined by additive genes. Among the five parents studied, PLA 550 was the best general combiner and among the crosses UPAS 120 x 1C 15708 was having good sea for all the characters. |
