Abstract

The present investigation was framed to understand the genetics and development of conspicuous purple coloured corolla tip flower and multicapsules at axil in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) from the cross between genotypes IC-205776 (♀) × EC-118591 (♂). The conspicuous corolla lip colour is recessive in expression and under digenic control, differing from the earlier reports. The ratio at F2 generation was best fit for 13:3 indicating inhibitory gene action for purple corolla lip colour. Among two genes, one acts as an inhibitory gene at recessive condition to produce conspicuous purple corolla lip colour. Multicapsules/axil is dominant in expression, controlled by more than one gene. The ratio of multiple capsules/axil and single capsules/axil at F2 generation was the best fit for the ratio 11:5 indicating dominance modification of duplicate genes for a number of capsules per axil. Single capsule/axil results due to dominance modification of duplicate genes where the homozygous condition of one gene reverses the dominance relation of another gene in heterozygous condition. Joint segregation analysis indicated independent segregation of corolla lip colour and capsule number per axil.
