Abstract

The inheritance of light dependent purple (LOP) pigmentation is worked out in the marked crosses of chickpea. The simple leaf, non-LOP line ICC - 10301 and Imperipinnate leaf, green line ICC - 32 were crossed by LOP pigmented, Imperipinnate leaf plants. The Fl produced only LOP pigmented, Imperipinnate leaf plants in the two crosses. The F2 segregated in two categories of LOP vs non LOP pigmented plants in a ratio of 9 : 7, suggesting complimentary interaction of two genes. The simple leaf segregation was found to be 1 : 3 with regard to Imperipinnate leaf, which is dominant.
