Genetics of yield and its contributing traits of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)
Author(s): Maneesh Pandey and GC Yadav
Abstract: The study on genetic components of variation revealed that the importance of non-additive systems operating in inheritance of yield and its important components. Degree of dominance was in range of over dominance range for all the characters and close to complete dominance for plant height. The traits viz. days to 50% flowering, days to first fruit harvest, average fruit weight, harvest duration and fruit yield per plant, exhibited non significant environmental effect. For days to 50% flowering, days to first fruit harvest, average fruit weight, harvest duration and fruit yield per plant dominant genes were more frequently distributed in the parents. The result suggested preponderance of dominance gene in the expression of traits studied. Therefore, heterosis breeding approach might be advantageous rather than selection to develop superior hybrids for high fruit yield in brinjal.
