ABSTRACT
The six generation of these crosses were evaluated during 2010-2011 for plant height, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit girth, fruit weight and dry fruit yield per plant. The data generated was subjected to test epistasis and six generation mean analysis. It was found that all type of gene action i.e., additive, dominance and interaction components were found to be play a role in their inheritance, but their degree differed with their crosses. This could be due to the differences in magnitude of gene effects and genetic background of parents. Based on these results, the breeding method that could be suggested for varietal improvement are heterosis breeding and selection of desirable transgressive segregants.
