Abstract

Sixty progeny families were produced bycrossing 20wheat varieties with three male testers (WH 147,WH S42 and their Fd in a triple test cross fashion to detect epistasis and test and estimate additive and dominance components of genetic variation. Epistasis was present for plant height and 1000-grain weight in both environments. Testers were adequate for grain number. Additive component played a greater role in the control of almost all the six characters.
