Inheritance of Stem Rot Resistance in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L)
摘要
In the present investigation five crosses out of twenty crosses made in line × tester mating design were utilized for inheritance studies of stem rot resistance. The five crosses were derived from crossing of five susceptible genotypes (TCGS 1694, TCGS 2245, Dheeraj, Kadiri-6 and Narayani) with one stem rot resistant genotype, TCGS 1862 (male parent). F₁s were moderately resistant to stem rot. The segregation pattern in the F₂ generation was good fit to a phenotypic ratio of 1 Susceptible: 2 Moderately resistant: 1 Resistant indicating that resistance to stem rot is governed by incomplete dominance. These F₂ findings were further confirmed by genetic analysis in the F3 generation.
