Author(s): S Kumar, SK Vishwakarma, MK Yadav and JR Yadav
Abstract: The experiment was conducted with 120 treatments (28 F1s, 28 F2s, 28 B1s and 28 B2s Populations) developed through diallel technique excluding reciprocals along with 8 parents viz.; AB-2, AB-1, KS-312, BO-2, P-7, VRO-3, VRO-5 and PK in a randomized block design in three replication at the Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, C. S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kalyanpur, Kanpur during kharif 2006. The observations were recorded for 10 quantitative traits namely days to flowering, height of plant (cm), number of branches per plant, number of first fruiting node, number of nodes per plant, length of internode (cm), length of fruit (cm), width of fruit (cm), number of fruits per plant and yield per plant (g). The study was revealed that the genetic component of variance showed both additive and dominance component of variance were significant for all the characters in both the generations except height of plant and width of fruit in F1generations and yield per plant in F2generations for additive component and width of fruit in F1 for dominance component. Over dominance was operating for all the characters in both the generations except number of branches per plant in F1 generation.
