Abstract
Inheritance of seed size in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) was studied in two desi × desi crosses, ICCV10 × ICC4958 and ICCV10 × K850, using generation means of parents, F1, F2 and both the backcrosses. Small seed size was partially dominant over large seed size. Generation means analysis showed that the major contribution to genetic variation in these crosses came from additive gene effects, indicating that selection for seed size in early generations should be effective. However, non-additive gene action (dominance and additive × dominance interaction) also affected to a small extent the expression of this character. The estimates of narrow-sense heritability and the expected genetic gain were high. The minimum number of effective factors controlling the seed size varied from 1.33 to 2.19.
