GENETIC ANALYSIS FOR OPIUM AND SEED YIELD AND THEIR COMPONENT TRAITS IN OPIUM POppy (PAPAVER SOMNIFERUML.)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Gene effects were studied for eight characters in 10 crosses of opium poppy consisting diversed genotypes. Additive type gene action was operative in the inheritance of capsule size, number of capsule per plant and number of effective lancing per capsule. Dominance and additive X additive gene effects were observed for the expression of days to 500/. flowering. Opium and husk yield were predominantly under the control of dominance and dominance Xdominance gene action. Dominance gene effectswere operative for seed yield. Additive gene action were also observed for opium and plant height in few crosses. Duplicate type epistasis were noticed for all the characters.
