Abstract
Out of the eleven quantitative characters studied in pigeonpea, days to flowering alone was
influenced by non-additive genes and all the remaining characters by additive genes. The proportion of
dominant and recessive genes was equal for plant height and number of clusters per plant, whereas more than
one recessive gene was present for eveiy dominant gene in the expression of days to maturity. The
remaining eight characters showed the presence of one to two dominant genes for every recessive gene.
