Abstract

Four susceptible pigeonpea lines viz: PRG-100, PRG-88, LRG-30 and ICPL-85063 and two resistant lines ICP-8863 and ICPL-87119 were selected for crossing to study the inheritance pattern of resistance to Fusarium wilt. Out of the 8 cross combinations possible five crosses viz: PRG-100x ICP-8863, PRG-88 x ICP-8863, LRG-30 x ICP-8863, ICPL-85063 x ICP-8863 and PRG-100 x ICPL-87119 were selected wherein sufficient population was there to interpret results based on 2 test. The progeny (F1’s) from these crosses were also resistant like their resistant parents. The F2 population of PRG-100x ICP-8863, LRG-30 x ICP-8863 and ICPL-85063 x ICP- 8863 segregated in a phenotypic ratio of 13R: 3S in all the crosses. When back crossed to resistant parent ICP-8863, the population segregated in 3R:1S phenotypic ratio; and when back crossed to the susceptible parent it segregated into 1R:1S phenotypic ratio. For the crosses PRG-88x ICP-8863 and PRG-100 x ICPL-87119, the F2 population segregated in 9R:7S ratio. The back crosses population (B1) to the resistant parent of both crosses segregated in phenotypic ratio of 3R:1S; and to the susceptible parent segregated in a ratio of 1R:1S. Inheritance studies on Fusarium wilt resistance affirmed the dominance of resistance to susceptibility and the role of two gene interactions viz: inhibitory (13:3) and complementary (9:7) type.
