Abstract - Issue Sep 2010, 31 (5) BackInheritance
of pod and seed traits in chickpea B. Tuba Bicer* and Department
of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, (Received: Abstract: A 4 x 4 full-diallel
cross was studied to estimate the gene effects and genetic parameters of pod
and seed? traits.
According to Hayman?s method, additive genetic
variance was significant for pod length and seed length and width, also, both
additive and dominance genetic variance were significant for pod thickness and
width. As additive gene effects were significant for pod and seed traits, it is
suggesting the selection of this traits early
generations. Partial dominance was important for traits. The high narrow sense
heritability of pod and seed traits was between 86 and 97%. Key
