COMBINING ABILITY AND NATURE OF GENE ACTION IN OKRA (Abelmoschus esculentus [L.] MOENCH)
Nine parental genotypes of okra were crossed in complete diallel design to study combining ability and nature of gene action for earliness and yield components. Mean squares of genotypes were found to be highly significant for all studied traits, providing evidence for presence of considerable amount of genetic variation among studied genotypes. The results showed that (P5) and (P9) were ... Read more
