Inheritance of Seed Shape in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Meena, H. P. , Kumar, J.

Abstract :

Inheritance of seed shape in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) was studied during years 2007-08 to 2009-10. The materials used were four genotypes two desi and two kabuli types. The desi genotypes were Pusa-362 and JG-62 and kabuli types were Pusa-1088 and BG-1073. The crosses were attempted between desi and kabuli types as Pusa-362 x Pusa1088 and JG -62 x BG-1073. The data in F1 populations revealed that desi types are dominant over kabuli types. The segregation in F2 populations indicates the monogenic inheritance of desi and kabuli type seeds.
