The present study investigated the inheritance of IDC resistance among four straight crosses of groundnut involving four IDC susceptible cultivars as females and a common IDC resistant male parent. The F1's of all the four crosses were resistant to IDC indicating the dominant nature of IDC resistance. The F2's of all the four crosses showed a good fit to the ratio of 15 (IDC resistant): 1 (IDC susceptible) and their behavior among the F3's was as per the expected ratio of 7:4:4:1. The IDC resistance in groundnut is under the control of duplicate dominant genes wherein, the presence of a dominant allele at either of the loci results in IDC resistance, while duplicate recessive results in IDC susceptibility. This information would facilitate development of IDC resistant cultivars of groundnut. publisher: Taylor & Francis date: 2017 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/10272/1/Published%20version.pdf identifier: Pattanashetti, S K and Naidu, G K and Prakyath Kumar, K V and Singh, O K and Biradar, B D (2017) Inheritance of iron deficiency chlorosis resistance in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.).
