Abstract
The study was conducted at department of plant breeding
and cytogenetics, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural
University, Anand, during summer 2004 comprising five
generations (P1, P2, F1, F2 and F3) of six crosses viz., I (ACP-41 x
Pusa Phalguni), II (ACP-43 x Pusa Phalguni), III (ACP-58 x Pusa
Phalguni), IV (ACP-65 x Pusa Phalguni), V (ACP-126 x Pusa
Phalguni) and VI (ACP-139 x Pusa Phalguni) involving 7 pure lines
and laid out in a compact family block design replicated four
times for the estimation of genetic parameters (Gene action,
heterosis, inbreeding depression, heritability and genetic
advance) for yield, yield components and to study the
inheritance of qualitative characters (viz., flower colour, seed
coat colour and resistance to cowpea golden mosaic virus) in
cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)
