GENETICS OF RUST (PUCCINIA ARACHIDIS SPEG.) IN GROUNDNUT

Abstract

Rust (Puccinia arachidis Speg.) resistant groundnut genotype NC Ac 17090 was crossed with susceptible genotype VG5 and their segregating populations of F1, F2 and B; and B2 were studied for the reaction to the disease. The additive component (d) was significant, while the dominance (h) was not significant. The epistatic interactions, additive x dominance () and dominance x dominance (1) were not significant.

Keywords: Groundnut, Rush resistance, Gene action
