SELECTION CRITERIA IN F3 AND F4 POPULATION OF MUNGBEAN (VIGNA RADIATA (L.)WILCZEK) G. SARWAR, M. SIDDIQUE SADIQ, M. SALEEM AND G. ABBAS
Abstract: Five cross combinations of mungbean viz., NM 92 x NM 51,NM 92 x Pusa
Baisakhi, NM 92 x NM 93, NM 92 x CV. 6601 and CV. 6601 x NM 92 in F3
and F4 generations were studied for genetic parameters and
direct and indirect effects of different morphological traits on yield.
Based on results of genetic parameters, populations of CV. 6601 x NM
92 and NM 92 x Pusa Baisakhi for pods per plant and NM 92 x CV. 6601
for 100 seed weight in F3and NM 92 x CV. 6601, NM 92 x NM
93, and CV. 6601 x NM 92 in F4 showed additive type of genes
as the said traits in these particular cross combinations contain high
heritability values combined with high genetic advance. Population of
NM 92 x Pusa Baisakhi, NM 92 x NM 51, NM 92 x NM 93 and NM 92 x CV.
6601 in F3 and NM 92 x CV. 6601, NM 92 x Pusa Baisakhi, CV.
6601 x NM 92 and NM 92 x NM 51 in F4 showed positive direct
effects for branches per plant, pods per plant, 100 seed weight and
seeds per pod. Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology, Faisalabad, Pakistan. |
