“…However, non-fixable type of gene action was more important for fruit breadth and severity of downy mildew due to high magnitude of dominance component. The preponderance of both additive and non-additive gene action for fruit yield and most of its component traits are in accordance with generation mean analysis (Rai et al 2018), North Carolina Design-II (Golabadi et al 2017) and contrary to the reports of earlier workers who have reported the preponderance of non- additive gene action for fruit yield and most of its component by following diallel analysis (Chirani et al 2011). However, in contradiction to non-additive gene action for fruit yield and most of its component through line × tester and diallel mating design by afore mentioned workers, the limited report of Shahi et al (2005) in cucumber and Mallikarjun et al (2017) in okra, for both the additive and non-additive gene action through triple test cross for these traits supports the results of present study.…”

To estimate epistasis and components of genetic variance a study was carried out during 2016 and 2017 at Experimental Research Farm of Department of Vegetable Science, Dr YSP UH & F Nauni, Solan, (HP) and data were recorded for different qualitative and quantitative traits using triple test cross (TTC) analysis of an inter-varietal cross LC-1-1 × K-75 of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Three testers of cucumber named LC-1-1, K-75 and their F1 (LC-1-1 × K-75) were crossed to 15 inbred lines for detecting the additive, dominance and epistatic components of genetic variance. Good quantum of genetic variability has been generated through triple test cross progenies with respect to different traits studied as revealed by the significant analysis of variance. TTC analysis revealed that overall epistasis and j+l type component were found to be significant for majority of the traits except fruit breadth and total soluble solids. Further, experimental results showed that (i) type of epistasis were also significant for majority of the traits under study. The components of genetic variance were estimated using analysis of variance for sums and differences revealed the importance of both additive (D) as well as dominance (H) components of genetic variance in controlling various traits and showed partial dominance except over dominance for fruit breadth and severity of downy mildew. Therefore, kind of genetic variance revealed from triple test cross can be exploited by intermating selected individuals in early segregating generations with delayed selection in later generations, or recurrent selection followed by pedigree method to exploit both additive and non-additive components along with epistasis in cucumber.

To determine the inheritance of fruit yield and its component traits in cucumber, three commercial monoecious varieties (Pusa Uday, Punjab Naveen and Pant Kheera-1) were crossed with gynoecious parent (Gy-14) and developed six generations of each cross. The scaling test and the three-parameter model of the joint scaling test revealed the presence of epistasis for most of the traits. Duplicate epistasis was found in the majority of the traits, which will decrease the net gain from heterozygosity because of epistatic effects and dominance cancellation. The fruit weight in Gy-14 ? Pant Kheera-1 showed a higher additive ? dominance type among epistatic interactions, while fruit length in all crosses and fruit breadth in Gy-14 ? Pant Kheera-1 showed a higher additive ? additive type of interaction, indicating the use of pedigree method to improve these traits. Fruit diameter, fruit weight, number of fruits per plant and yield per plant in Gy-14 ?Punjab Naveen, and fruit weight in Gy-14 ? Pusa Uday were found to exhibit a higher dominance ? dominance interaction. Consequently, these traits can be further enhanced through heterosis breeding in the corresponding crosses.
