PATTERN OF SEGREGATION IN THE F2 PROGENIES OF RICE.

Abstract

The pattern of transgressive segregation in the crosses was positive in respect of days to flowering, panicle length, grain number per panicle and 100 grain weight, while it showed a negative trend for plant height. Early duration and high yielding segregants were predominant in the cross, Co 37/ADT 16. Four crosses viz., ADT 16/Co 33, Co 33/ADT 16, Co 37/ADT 16 and ADT 16/Co 37 recorded high percentage of late duration and high yielding segregants, while the cross Co 33/ADT 16 yielded a large number of transgressive segregants with profuse tillering, increased number of grains, high grain weight and high yield.
