Inheritance of pod setting under low temperature in pigeonpea

Published on Aug 07, 2018 02:14 PM

Six basic populations (P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2) of 12
crosses involving four susceptible (MAL 17, NDA-1, BHUA
96-13-3 and BHUA 96-21-4) and three tolerant (MAL 19,
NDA 99-1 and NDA 49-6) genotypes were analyzed to
observe the inheritance of pod setting under low
temperature in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) millsp]. All
the F1 s bore pods even under low temperature as was
evident in tolerant parents indicating the dominancy of
pod setting over susceptibility. The F2 segregation ratio
of 3:1 (tolerant : susceptible) indicated that pod setting is
governed by single dominant gene. The observations of
segregation pattern of B1 (F1 x tolerant parents) further
confirmed the F2 ratio since all the plants bore pods under
low temperature. Similarly B2 (F1 x susceptible parents)
also exhibited 1:1 (tolerant: susceptible) segregation
further confirmed the F2 ratio.
