Scrutiny of gene action underlying yield contributing traits and earliness in blackgram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper)

Abstract

Understanding the genetic architecture of complex traits is the major thrust in plant breeding programs. Hence, the present investigation was carried out at a dry land farm of S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati during rabi, 2020 to elucidate the gene action governing seed yield, yield related traits and earliness in blackgram. The experimental material consisted of six generations viz.
