Abstract:Background: Cowpea is an important pulse crop grown worldwide that fits well in a variety of cropping systems. Improvement in yield and related characters along with reduced duration are desirable traits in this crop. The study of heterosis reveals the type of gene action involved which enables the plant breeder to adopt suitable breeding methodology for its improvement. Methods: The present investigation was carried out with 10 parent partial diallel design to analyse the gene action and estimate of heterosis… Show more
