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%.
