GENETICS OF SEED SIZE AND SEED YIELD IN LENTIL (LENS CULINARIS MEDIK)
Main Article Content
Abstract
One bold- and five small seeded varieties/lines of lentil were crossed to make a half-dialle!. Combining abilities were calculated and both additive and nonadditive gene actions were found to be important in the expression of 10o-seed weight and seed yield/plant in lentil. The per se performance of parents gave fair indication of their gca effects for loo-seed weight. One bold- and two small seeded parents had high seed weight besides being good general combiners for this trait. Only one parent KL 86-2, was found to be a good general combiner for seed yield/plant and also having significant positive gca effects for both the traits. Significant sca effects forlO1tseed weightwere recorded in the crosses involving one parent with high and the other with low gca effects.
