| dc.description.abstract | The cytomorphological and chemical aspects of four F1 hybrids of crosses involving five varieties of Capsicum annuum L. were studied . The variety ' Local blue' which possessed mosaic resistance , prolific bearing habit , long life span and high pungency was selected as the common seed parent. The selected pollen parents were, Russian, Indian long red , Chinese giant and Oskosh which were gifted with a higher content of ascorbic acid and sucrose and larger fruit size , but lacking the qualities of the common seed parent. 2. All the four F1 hybrids manifested a marked degree of heterosis in many economically important attributes like , carliness in blooming, number of leaves, number of branches, leaf area and chemical constituents like ascorbic acid and sucrose. 3. An intermediate condition was observed with regard to height , spread, number of fruits, fruit size and number of F2 seeds | en_US |
