Abstract

The study, includes a six-parent complete diallel cross of varieties/lines viz. CRIS-15, TH-3/83, TH-28/83, CRIS-9,
NIAB-78 and Rehmani of Gossypium hirsutum L. It was initiated to determine the genetics of lint weight, seed index,
staple length and seed cotton yield per plant. The WrVr graph showed that, lint weight and seed cotton yield were
conditioned by over-dominance, while seed index and staple length by partial-dominance type of gene action. CRIS-9
and NIAB-78 x CRIS-9 appeared to be best general and specific combiners, respectively. Hence, they are recommended
for future breeding programme.
