Heterosis Study for Yield and Yield Components in Pea (Pisum sativum L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences (IJCMAS) - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Fifty five crosses derived from 11x11 dialel analysis excluding reciprocals were evaluated to know the magnitude of heterosis over better parent and standard check for seed yield and its components in pea. The manifestation of heterosis for seed yield was evidenced by superiority of hybrids ranging from 3.41 to 50.09% in the 34 crosses over better parent and 3.67 to 22.56% in 19 crosses over standard check variety. The highest significant heterosis for yield was observed in the crosses DDR-23 x HUDP-15 and Arkel x CAUP-1 over better parent and standard check respectively. It was concluded that three crosses, viz., E-6 X Arkel, Arkel x Pant P-25 and HUDP-15 were common in heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis for seed yield along with most of its yield components which have the immense potential to exploit hybrid vigour or to isolate desirable segregants.
