INHERITANCE OF GRAIN YIELD AND ITS CORRELATION WITH YIELD COMPONENTS IN BREAD WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.)

The inheritance of grain yield plant-1 and its correlation with other yield components were investigated in a diallel cross of seven wheat parents during the crop season of 2011-2012. Mean square of GCA effect was 2.90 for grain yield plant-1, which was highly significant (P
