β¦ Synopsis
Combining ability, components of genetic variance and graphic analysis revealed that nodulation in the cultivars of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under study, was predominantly under the control of non-additive gene action although substantial additive effect was also present. The crosses giving high specific combining ability effects also manifested highly significant positive heterosis. The parents F-61, Giza and Annegiri possessed mostly dominant alleles while Phule G-5, NEC-249 and N-3 1 possessed mostly recessive alleles having positive effect on nodule weight,
