Abstract


Character associations are of considerable value in plant breeding and they sometimes determine the course of a braeding programme Association of some desirable agronomic features with some unfavourable traits would limit the advance realised under selection, Intercrossing in early segregating generations is expected to break such unfavourable linkages (Moll et al. 1964. Miller and Rawlings, 1967. William et al. 1973: and Lal, 1978). The usefulners of biparental matings in breaking unfavourable linkages has been examined in two crosses of wheat by comparing the associations among a set of characters among full-sib and half-sib families and the corresponding sells,
