Abstract

The inheritance pattern of photoperiod sensitivity was studied in five intervarietal crosses of basmati rice. Photoperiod response followed a qualitative inheritance with photosensitivity being dominant over photo insensitivity and it showed digenic complementary gene action in five crosses.
