dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The present study entitled “Genetic Studies on Morphological, Yield and Quality Traits in Bell Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)” was carried out at the Experimental Farm, Department of Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni Solan, (HP) in summer of 2019, 2020 and 2021. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications comprising seventy two genotypes to elucidate the information on the extent of mean performance, heterosis, combining ability, nature and magnitude of gene action for different horticultural traits. Inheritance of immature fruit colour in bell pepper was also studied by observing the segrVegetable Science,egation pattern of different generations (F2, B1 and B2) using chi- square analysis. The analysis of variance indicated highly significant differences among all the genotypes for all the traits studied. Based on GCA effects, the lines UHF CAP-23, UHF CAP-1 and UHF CAP-22 and two testers Yolo Wonder and California Wonder were the most promising for fruit yield per plant. Gene action studies indicated predominance for non additive gene action for almost all the traits except for days to first picking. The experimental results revealed that on the basis of overall mean performance, heterosis over standard check and other genetic parameters three cross combinations viz., UHF CAP- 30 × California Wonder, UHF CAP-23 × Yolo Wonder and UHF CAP-22 × California Wonder performed well for majority of yield and yield contributing traits and these hybrids can be recommended for cultivation after multi-locational testing. Chi-square analysis revealed that Solan Bharpur (Dark Green) × UHF CAP-101(Sulfury White) showed incomplete dominance, Solan Bharpur (Dark Green) × UHF CAP-102 (Dark Purple) showed dominant episten_US
