Generation mean analysis was carried out with 5 generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, and F3) crossing 5 aromatic and 3 non-aromatic genotypes of rice for prime kernel quality characteristics and grain yield per plant. Besides main genetic effects (d and h), interaction effects (i and l) were also highly significant for quality traits, indicating the importance of epistasis exploitation in breeding for quality rices. | Genetics of quality and yield traits using aromatic and non aromatic genotypes through generation mean analysis in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
