Abstracts
The F2 and F3 populations each of two ‘desi’ X ‘gulabi’ crosses, viz.JG-1260 X JG-4 and JG4 X PRR-1 along their ‘gulabi’ (JG-4) and ‘desi’ (JG-1260 and PRR-1) parents were studied at the Research station of J.N Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur ,during 1981-82. Highly significant differences were seen for days of flowering, maturity and plant height in both crosses, for pods per plant, seeds per plant and 100-seed weight in JG-4 X PRR-1 and for number of secondary branches only in JG-1260 X JG-4. The genotype variance was found to be predominant for days to flowering and maturity JG-4 X PRR-1. The major portion of genotypic variance was found additive in nature for days to flowering in both crosses, for plant height (JG-1260 X JG-4), number of seeds, pods per plant and 100-seed weight in JG-4 X PRR-1.
