Abstract

Additive and nonadditive gene effects were found to be important in the expression of protein content studied at three locations through a 7 x 7 diallel cross of mungbean. Interaction mean squares of gca and sca with environments were significant, indicating their inconsistency over environments. Parent varieties ML 5and A 36-4 had high protein content and were good general combiners.
