ABSTRACT
The present investigation in aromatic rice (Oryza sativa L.) was undertaken for studying the magnitude of gene action in three cross combination for eight yield and nine quality traits deploying generation mean analysis following six parameter model for parents (P1 and P2), F1, F2, BC1 and BC2 generations during three crop season. The results of the scaling tests revealed that the additive-dominance model was inadequate for all of the characters evaluated in all of the three crosses, suggested the existence of epistasis in the inheritance of these characters. Mean values of all the crosses revealed significant. Additive gene effect [d] had significant contribution in all the crosses except Pusa Sugandh-5 × Type-3 for days to maturity and main panicle length where as dominance [h] genetic effects was significant for all of the characters in three crosses except Kasturi Basmati × Type-3 for main panicle length and amylose content. Major contribution of duplicate epistasis was revealed by all the three crosses, for most of the character. Few crosses revealed complementary epistasis for the traits. The present study demonstrates the importance of additive, dominance and epistatic gene effects for the inheritance of almost all the yield as well as quality characters studied.
