Abstract: | Summary Inheritance of downy mildew (Peronospora parasitica) resistance in three resistant x susceptible crosses, one susceptible x susceptible and one resistant x resistant cross were studied in Indian cauliflower (Group III) over the two years (1990 and 1991). No significant difference was observed between the years for various estimates and hence pooled data are presented. Downy mildew resistance in crosses cc×HR 5-4 and 3-5-1-1×244 (R×S) is governed by single dominant gene PPA3 but in cross cc×244 (R×S), recessive epistasis was observed. The resistance level was not improved in both the cc×3-5-1-1 (R×R) and 244×267-6-9 (S×S) crosses. Exploitation of downy mildew resistance from cc and 3-5-1-1 in F1 hybrid is explained in detail. |
