GENETICS OF SEED WEIGHT IN LENTIL (LENS CULINARIS MEDIK.) M. TAHIR, A. GHAFOOR* AND M. ZUBAIR Abstract: Combining ability and genetic analysis was conducted in a four parent complete diallel for seed weight in lentil. Additive type of gene action predominantly governed by recessive genes was observed for the expression of this character. Thus, simple selection in late generations, when genes are fixed, is recommended to pick the desired transgressive segregants in the hybrids involving Mansehra-89 and Flip-8638L as one of the parents.
