BARKAT ALISOOMRO
Abstract
Detailed genetic retrospect , with respect to degree of dominance , nature of dominance , proportion of positive to negative effects of genes at the loci exhibition dominance , proportion of dominant to recessive genes in the parents and the number of groups of genes controllinh the particular character was studied for onset-of- heading. 75% heading , heading-span and plant height in a five-parent diallel cross of common wheat ( triticum aestivcum L.) for four generations at two locations in the university of alberta, Edmonton, Canada. The parents involved were marquis. Chinook ( both Canadian) . khushhal (Pakistan), ciano-67 and inta-66
