Grain yield v^^as largely governed by non-additive (SCA) type of gene action with the significant existence of additive (GCA) type of gene action. GCA variance due to females was significant whereas due to males was non-significant under all environments. SCA variance was highly susceptible to the changing environments as compared to GCA component of females, whereas GCA component of males was not at all interacting with environments. Proportion of SCA and GCA variances distorted on pooling the data and was contradictor)Ŝ uch distortion of the proportion on pooling was observed due to large amount of g X e interactions. Impact of interaction of genetic variance components with environments, its proportion, utility and breeding approaches are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
