A study using 6 × 6 F2 full diallel populations from six parents (NAMA, B188, PC79-79, QH243C, TS32-1, and CN94C) was conducted to assess the mode of inheritance of ELS resistance traits. The F2 and parents were grown in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data was collected on ELS disease severity, and an area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) was estimated. The results revealed that additive and non-additive gene actions were involved in the inheritance of the ELS resistance traits, but additive gene action was predominant. Significant reciprocal cross effect was observed, suggesting cytoplasmic effect on ELS resistance. Graphical analysis also revealed the predominance of additive gene action for ELS resistance. The results suggest that early generation selection should be effective for ELS resistance. Looking at the distribution of array points along with the regression line, parental lines NAMA, PC79-79, and B188 would be suitable as good donors in an ELS disease resistance breeding program. date: 2019-01 date_type: published publication: Agronomy (TSI) volume: 9(1) number: 15 publisher: MDPI pagerange: 1-12 id_number: 10.3390/agronomy9010015 refereed: TRUE issn: 2073-4395 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/agronomy9010015 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Diallel+Analysis+of+Early+Leaf+Spot+%28Cercospora+arachidicola+Hori%29+Disease+Resistance+in+Groundnut&btnG=#d=gs_cit&u=%2Fscholar%3Fq%3Dinfo%3APakPFlMR7IwJ%3Ascholar.google.com%2F%26output%3Dcite% related_url_type: pub funders: Tropical Legume II (TL-II) of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) citation: Zongo, A and Konate, A and Koïta, K and Sawadogo, M and Sankara, P and Ntare, B and Desmae, H (2019) Diallel Analysis of Early Leaf Spot (Cercospora arachidicola Hori) Disease Resistance in Groundnut.
