ABSTRACT

Six generations (Pc, Pi, F1, F2, Bc, Bi) of chilli were derived during 1999 and 2000 by crossing of one common female parent I (PBC 830) with each of male parent i.e. Piapos;s [S-2530, Punjab Lal, Luudhiana Local Selection (U.S), Ooty Round, Anheim Thick Green (ATG) and Pepsi-7) and were evaluated during 2001 to find out the gene action for yield (early and total) and quality (green and red fruit colour) traits in chilli. For early and total yield, F1 mean of all the crosses surpassed both of their corresponding parental means suggesting over dominance for both the traits whereas for colouring matter of red ripe fruits and total chlorophyll content of green fruits, F1 means were higher than mid-parental means suggesting partial dominance for these traits. Hence it can be concluded that heterosis breeding can be used to improve yield and selection in the later generations can be used to improve fruit colour (red and green).
