The observed means of the six generations and their
standard errors were used to estimate the mid-parent
[m], additive [d] and dominance [h] gene effects using
the joint scaling test of Mather and Jinks (1982). The
adequacy of the simple additive-dominance model
(mean, additive, and dominance effects) was
determined by χ
2
test. Where the simple model proved
to be inadequate, additive×additive [i], additive×dom-
inance [j] and dominance×dominance [l] were added
to the model, as proposed by Mather and Jinks (1982).
The significance of genetic parameters (m, [d], [h], [i],
[j] and [l]) were tested using
t
-test. The data were
subjected to GMA by using statistical package
WINDOSTAT 9.1 version. To confirm the inheritance
pattern of plant growth habit, the F
2
, BC
1.1
and BC
1.2
were subjected to χ
2
test.
