Genetic components analysis in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern and Coss) under Saharanpur districts

Abstract

Regression coefficient ‘b1’ deviated from unity for length of main raceme,  Number of secondary branches per plant, test weight, oil content, Number of siliquae per plant, seed yield per plant. The estimates of additive components (D ˆ ), dominance components ( 1
 H ˆ and 2  H ˆ ) were highly significant for days to flowering, days to maturity,  plant height, length of main raceme, number of siliquae per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, oil content, test weight and seed yield per plant .All the estimates of F ˆ(mean of Fr 
value, where Fr is the proportion of negatives effects of Genes in rth parents) was positive and significant number of siliquae per plant, days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height and except for which is highly significant whereas days to maturity was negative 
and significant. The estimates of 2 h ˆ  were positive and highly significant for days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, length of main raceme, oil content, test weight and seed yield per plant. The estimates of mean degree of dominance ( 1 H ˆ /D ˆ ) 0.5 were 
more than unity for length of main raceme, number of secondary branches per plant, oil content, test weight and seed yield per plant.
