GENETIC ARCHITECTURE OF YIELD AND QUALITY CHARACTERS IN GROUNDNUT

Abstract

Analysis of generation means was carried out in six crosses involving two cultivated varieties and three-exotic rust resistant cultures of groundnut (Arachis hypogaca.L) for pod yield and quality characters viz. Shelling percentage, Hundred kemel weight and Sound mature kernel percentage. The data revealed considerable proportion of non-allelic interactions. All characters were found to be controlled by both additive and non-additive gene action, however, in the case of shelling percentage predominance of non-additive gene action was observed.
