Partial dominance was observed for earliness. The magnitude of interaction effects were lower for number of days to first female flower as well as for days to first mature fruit. The components of variance analysis revealed that additive component of variance was relatively more important for earliness than dominance variance. The distribution of genes in the parents was asymmetrical for earliness. Three groups of genes were found for days to first female flower and days to first mature fruit.
