Gene action and heterosis for some quantitative characters in bread wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.) Em. TheiL] under different moisture conditions
Main Article Content
Abstract
Twelve generations namely, P1, P2! F1, F2, BC1, BC2, B11, B12, B11, 822, 81s and 82s of four spring wheat crosses viz., S4 x HPW89, Hindi 62 x HS240, VL421 x HS240 and VL421 x P8W175 generated from three drought tolerant (S4, Hindi 62 and VL421) and three drought susceptible (HPW89, HS240 and P8W175) wheat genotypes were raised together in a compact family block design with 3 replications at 23 x 5 cm spacing under rainfed (E1) and irrigated (E2) conditions in rabi 2002-2003 at the Experimental Farm of Department of Plant 8reeding and Genetics, CSK HPKV, Palampur. Observations on days to 75 % flowering and maturity, plant height, flag leaf area (FLA) and spike length were recorded on randomly selected 5 plants in each parents and Fl' 20 plants in each back cross generations, 15 plants in each second back cross generations and 40 plants in F2 generation under both the environments.
