DETECTION OF ADDITIVE, DOMINANCE AND EPISTATIC VARIATION IN WHEAT USING TRIPLE TEST CROSS METHOD

Published on Nov 01, 2019 11:44 AM

Sixty progeny families were produced bycrossing20 wheat varieties with three male testers
(WH 147, WH S42 and their Fd in a triple test cross fashion to detect epistasis and test and
estimate additive and dominance components of genetic variation. Epistasis was present
for plant height and 1000-grain weight in both environments. Testers were adequate for
grain number. Additive component played a greater role in the control of almost all the six
characters.
 

Keywords: Wheat, triple test cross, epistasis, genetic variation.
