Abstract

Genetic study of pod beak and pod constriction was taken up in 14 and 8 crosses, respectively. The presence of pod beak was dominant over beakless andwas inherited as a monogenic character. The F2 phenotypic ratios indicated that pod constriction was govemed by three pairs of independent nuclear genes, which interacted with cytoplasmic factor(s).
