of effective tillers/plant in DL88 × K560, grain
yield/plant in RD 2552 × NDB1020. However,
dominance × dominance (l) epistatic effect was also
more important and higher than the additive × additive
(i), dominance × dominance (l) epistatic gene
interaction was significant and greater in magnitude
than all the gene effects (d, h, i and j) in the
inheritance no of effective tillers/plant, days to
maturity and 1000-grain weight in DL 88 × K560.
The weight of grains/main spike and1000-grain
weight was significantly higher in RD 2552 × NDB
1020. These findings are in agreement with those
reported earlier Prakash V. et al. (2005). Thus, these
characters were mainly under the control of
dominance × dominance (l) type of epistasis.
Therefore, selection for these characters would be
fruitful, if delayed till dominance and epistatic
effects are reduced to minimum.
