Abstract excerpt
The double-pod per peduncle trait is known to contribute to increased seed yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). A cross was made between the single-podded variety ICCV 2 and the double-podded variety JG 62 in 1993. Penetrance and expressivity of the gene for double podding was studied in an F2 population and F10 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of this cross. Homozygous recessive allele of this gene (ss)...
