KW - Sesame KW - Epistasis (Genetics) KW - dominance (genetics) KW - genetic variation KW - triple test cross N1 - Includes reference N2 - Triple test cross analysis of four sesame crosses was used to detect and estimate the additive, dominance and epistasis genetic variation for days to the first flower, no. of branches/plant, plant height, capsule length, no. of capsules/plant, 1000 seed weight, seed yield/plant, oil content (%) and acid value. The variance between (L₁, L₂ and L₃) sets of triple test cross families was found to be highly significant for all traits in the four crosses investigated. The total epistasis was detected to be highly significant and significant for all traits in all crosses investigated except the height of the first capsule in the third and fourth crosses and acid value in the first cross UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2010/MJAR/3510/1/227.pdf ER -
