Abstract :
This study was carried out at Barani Agricultural Research Institute, Chakwal to investigate the inheritance of gene action in wheat genotypes; viz., Inqilab-91, MAW-1, 2KC033, Saleem-2000, No.2495, 3C061, 3C062, and 3C066 in an 8 x 8 diallel combinations under two diverse environments (irrigated and rainfed conditions). Observations were recorded for flag leaf area, fertile tillers per plant, spike length, 1000 grain weight and grain yield per plant. Experiment was planted in RCB design with three replications. The wr/vr graphic representation showed that traits like flag leaf area, fertile tillers per plant, 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant were controlled by over-dominance type of gene action under irrigated and rainfed conditions. While spike length exhibited over-dominance type of gene action under irrigated conditions and additive type of gene action under rainfed conditions
