MATERIALS AND METHODS
The present inbesligation was undertaken to study the inheritance of stem
pigmentatio~i and flower colour. and to determine the genotypes of dirkrent sepregants
with ahi te flower colour and to determine the association among important tralts in
chickpea.
The experiment was conducted during the post-rainy season 2000-01 at the
International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid 'l'ropics (ICRISAT) Patanchcru.
A.P. It is located at an altitude of 545 m above mean sea Icvel. latitude 17"3?' N and
longitude 78'16' E. The heather data during the crop gro\+.th period is giben in
Appendix 5 . '1 he research material was provided by the Chickpea GREP Unit ICKISAT.
The details of the materials and methods followed in this expcrlmcnt are fbrnishcd
hereunder.
3.1 MATERIALS
The experiment was conducted ai th six different genotypes inbulvcd in three
crosses. The parents uscd were: ICC' 5716. ICC 17101. T-I-A. T 39-A. ICCV 2, and
RS 11.
During 1999. a chickpea accession ICC 5716 with highly purple stem and p~nk
flower colour was crossed to ICC 17101 with low stem pigmentation and ahi te flower
colour. The resulting F2 produced plants of four types I e , high pigmentation with white
flower colour, high pigmentation with pink flower colour, low pigmentation with white
flower colour and low pigmentation with pink flower colour. These four phenotypes were
planted to investigate the inheritance of stem pigmentation and flower colour. For the
stem pigmentation and floaer colour studies. both parents I e . . ICC 5716 and ICC 17101
and 151 Fl plant seeds were used for planting.
The remaining four genotypes were used to determine the different genotypes for
white flowcr. ICCV 2 and RS 11 have white t loacr colour and I-I-A and r 39-1 are
blue coloured types. Crosses were made between (ICCV 2 x T-I-A) and (RS 1 I x 'I' 39-1)
during 1997 rabr season in the glass house. The two resulting I:, 's produced plnk iloaer
colour. The F2 generations of these crosses exhibited three types of floaer colour; pink.
white and blue. The white flowcr coloured plants from the F2 of lCCV 2 1 T-1-A were
crossed a i th the white coloured 1:2 plants of RS I I \ T 39-1 in the 1998 nlh, season. And
one reciprocal cross was made. The FI of these crosses resulted in plnk and blue tlowers
and in F2 pink blue and white were resulted. From these three types only white flower
colour plant seeds were used as planting material in the 2000101 m h , heason. a total of
146 white flower plant seeds, 4 parents and 6 selfed white flowcr seed of prevlous cross
were used as planling material.
3.2 METHODS
The above mentioned chickpea plantlng rnater~als of !\ra sub experiments were
sown during the post rainy season (rahi) 2000-01 at ICRISA'T research farm Patancheru
on 20 October, 2000 on deep vertisol type soils under conserved soil moisture conditions.
The plots were single row 2 m long with 60 cm between rows. The seed to secd spacing
was 10 cm. 'Shere were 156 plots. Alpha design was used for these experiments with two
replications. In both the cases soaing was done with the help of planter. All necessary
cultural operations and plant protection measures were done to raise a healthy crop.

under the following headings'
4.1 Inheritance of stem pigmentation and Iloaer colour
4.3 Iletermination of genotypes for white flower colour
4.3 ilssociations among important traits
4.1 Inheritance of stem pigmentation and flower colour
4.1.1 Stem pigmentation
The inheritance of stcm pigmentation (anthocjmin) was studied in the 1:2 and FI
generations of the cross ICC 5716 x ICC 17101. In the F2generation 106 low and 48 high
pigmented plants were obtained, Based on one-gene segregation and ~ i t h lo\+
3 3 pigmentation dominant to high pigmentation, Illis fits well to the expectcd ratio of 3:l
(Table 2).
The data for F3 generation of the above cross. confirmed the results of
F2 generation indicating that the stem pigmentation is controlled by a single gene
(Table 3).
1.1.2Flower colour
In this cross this cross thc inheritance of tlower colour was also studied, Tllc
ohservations obtained in F? generation ac re 121 pink: 33 ahite. Based on one geilc
segregation these fit s e l l to the expected ratio of3:I ('l'ahle 2).
Thc F3 generation of the above cross also confirmed the results of b'2 generation
segregation, indicating that the pink Iloher colour is controlled by a singlc gene
(Table 3).

4.1.3 Joint segregation of stem pigmentation and flower colour
In the F2 population the joint segregation of stem pigmentation and tlower colour
was studied together. Four classes of stem pigmentation and flower colour were obtaincd
indicating that two genes governed these traits (Table 4). The four classes; low
pigmentation with pink flower. low pigmentation with white flower, high pigmentation
with pink flower and high pigmentation with white flower fit well to a 9: 3: 3:t ratio
value was 4.30" at 3 d.t). F3 generation data confirmed the results of F1 generation
(Appendix no. I). This indicated that the two genes segregated independent of each other.

4.2 Determination of different genotypes of white flower colour
The crosses between ICCV 2 (white) x T-I-A (blue) and RS I l(uhite) x T 39-1
(blue) produced pink flower colour in F I indicating interaction of bluc with white flower
colour. In the F2 generation of both crosses were resulted in three typcs of flower colours
pink, blue and white indicating supplementary type of gene action and their expected
genotypes were showed. (Table 5 ) .
By crossing these white flowers ( F2 white flower of (ICCV 2 x T-I-A) x
F2 white flower of (RS 11 x T 39-1)) produced pink and bluc flowers .The F2 generation
of these cross resulted in three types of flower colours pink. blue and white. The expected

CHAPTER V
DISCUSSION
This study was conducted to investigate inherilancc of' sten1 ptgn~entalion and
flower colour. to determine different genotypes for white flower colour and to co t~~pu tc
associations among important traits in two crosses ol'chickpea. 'The results are discussed
under the following headings:
5.1 Inheritance of stem pigmentation and flower colour.
5.2 Determination of different genotypes for white flower colour.
5.3 Associations among important traits.
5.1 Inheritance of stem pigmentation and flower colour.
Flower colour has profbund cffect on other morphological and physiological
patterns. 'l'he inheritance of stem pigmentation and llowcr colour was studicd in chickpea
cross ICC 5716 x ICC 17101. ICC 5716 has light purple stem and pink Ilowcrs. ICC
17101 has high purple stem and white tlowcrs.
'The stem pigmentation was controlled by a single gcne pair in the present study.
Similar results were obtained by Bhapkar and I'atil (1962), Aher and Patil (1984). Singh
and Singh (1995). l'efera (1998) and Sahaghpour (2000). In the present study low stem
pigmentation was found to be dominant over htgh stem pigmentation. Ilo\vcver, 1:ssomba
er ul. (1987). Metz er a/. (1992). Singh er u/ (1993). Ghatge (1994a). Mathur (1998).
'refera (1998). Venugopal and Goud (1998) and Sahaghpour (2000) reported that high
pigmentation was dominant to lowlno pigmentation. Ghatge and Kolhe (1985). Kabir
and Sen (1991), Karkannavar ei 01. (1991). Ghatge (1993) (1994a) md Mathur (1098)
reported digenic control for the stem pigmentation. In addition to this complimentary
type of gene action was reported by Ghatge and Kolhe (1985). Karkannavar r i 111 (1901)
Mathur (1998) and Venugopal and Goud (1998) for pigmented and nollow pigmented
characters.
In chickpea purple foliage colour could be used as a marker in identification of
true hybrids (Sandhu r / oi., 1993). Mathur (1989) reported that this purple pigmentation
depends on sunlight. Sandhu rr ul. (1993) indicated that pigmentation remained stable
from seedling stage to plant maturity in ICC 6071.
Flower colour is also an imponant morphological marker in chickpea. In this
study pink flower colour is dominant over white flower color indicating that a single gene
governs this character. 'These results support those of I'impl~kar (1943). Khan ' 1 111
(1950). Bhapkar and Patil (1962 and 1963). Gil and Cuhero (l993), I'ct'era (1008) and
Sahaghpour (2000), suggesting that the ~ h i t e flower colour is recessive to thc pink
flower color. But Khan and Akthar (1934). Kadam ei oi . (1941) I'awar and I'atil (1079)
Ghatge (1994a) and Kumar (1997) reported that two genes controlled this character.
Ayyar and Balasubramanian (1936). D 'c ru~ and Tendulkar (1970). Phadnis (1976),
Vijayalakshnli (1998) and Kumar ei oi (2000) suggested trigcnic inheritilncc for this
character. According to them all the three genes I e C, B and I' should hc present in thc
dominant condition to produce pink flower colour. When ( ' and B are in dominant
condition blue colour is produced and when either B or ( ' is in homozygous recessive
condition white flower colour IS produced.
In the joint segregation for stem pigmentation and flowcr colour. these two
characters segregated in a 9:3:3:1 ratio indicating that both the characters were governed
by two different genes that showed independent assortment, These results vary froni
those proposed by Aher and Patil (1984). Ghatgc (1994b). Joshi el (11. (1994). 'Tcfcra
(1998), and Sabaghpour (2000). 'They found that the gene that governs the flower colour
has pleiotropic effect on stem pigmentation. From the above discussion stem
pigmentation and flower colour can show nionogenic, digenic and trigenic inheritance
depending on the parental genotypes.
5.2 Determination of different genotypes of white flower colaur:
In chickpea, three distinct tlower colours are identified namely pink. hluc and
white. The flower colour is an important trait since it is a reliable morphological marker
for comparing chickpea accessions. Most of the dcsi varieties of chickpea arc of pink
flowered type and kabuli types always have white flowers. White llowcr accc?sions
account for about one third of the world gcrmplasni and those with blue llowcrs arc rare
(Pundir et al., 1988).
The cross between two white flowered parents ICCV 2 and RS 11 produced pink
flower. These two parents when crossed to blue tlowcred parents 'r-I-A and 'r 39-1 also
produced pink flowers. This indicated an interaction between the genes for white and
blue flower colours resulting in the formation of pink flowers in the Fls. This also
suggested the involvement of more than one gene in governing the flower colour. These
results differ from those of Pimplikar (1943). Khan el a1 .(1950), Bhapkar and Patil
(1963). Patil (1964). Athwal and Brar (1967). Patil (1967). Khosh-Khui and Niknejad
(19711, More and D'cruz (1976). Nayecm el (11. (1977). Reddy and Nayeem ( I 978).
K u m a el u i . (19821, Pawar and Patil (1982 and 1983). Kidambi el 111. (1988) Singh er 111.
(1988). Gil and Cubero (1993) and Pundir and Reddy (1997) who propclsrd nionogcnic
inheritance model.
1.'2 of these crosses segregated in tile ratio of 9 pink: 3 blue: and 4 white flower
colour individuals. indicating the supplementary type of gene action and digcnic control
of this character. Iligenic inheritance model was proposed by Khan and Akhtar (1934).
Pal (1934). Kadam el ul (1941). More and D'cruz (1970). Patil and I)eshmukh (1975).
Reddy and Chopde (1977). Pawar and I'atil(1979). Rao el ol (1980). Davis (1991) and
Kumar (1997). According to the digenic model assuming gene designation are proposed
by Khan and Akhtar (1934). a dominant factor D produced blue colour. A Sactor P
produced pink colour in the presence of B but hy itself produced no colour In the
absence of B, the flowers were white. whether I' was presenl or not indicating the
epistatic actlon of hh.
The different gene symbols given by different scientists. namely B B ( ' 0 , I,Rc'O.
and PCO, for blue colour and P, ,Sco, W ( ' 0 and /'('Oh showing supplementary gene
action could represent the same loci as they werc designated without conducting the
allclic tests. The segregation ratio of 9 pink : 3 blue : 4 white flower colours in the Fz
generation of both the crosses was indicative of similar genetic const~tution of the two
white flowered parents ICCV ? and RS-11. However, this was not the case. as the two
white flowered parents produced a pink FI when crossed (Kumar 1997) indicating
different genetic constitutions for their white colours. llence the digenic model of
inheritance was not found to be appropriate (Kumu sr (11. 2000).
The possible white flower color genotypes of the ahovc crosses will he n~lIBPP.
ccBBPp, ccBBpp from ICCV2 x 'T-I-A cross . ('( 'hhPP. ('C'hhPp and ('( 'hhPP from
RS I I x T 39-lcross.
Prom the intercrossing of the above mentioned differen[ genotypes for white
flower colour from the two crosses, the F I was pink. Fl segregated pink and white. In
this case the type of interaction ohserved is complimentary (9:7). So the expected
genotypes of the parents involved in this cross wcre ( ' ( 'hhPI1 x rt13/31JP. 'fhc genotype
for pink flower is ('-B-P- and the white tlower genotypes are C'-hh1'-, icB-1'- and cchhP-
In other cross between whitc flowered genotypes, pink and blue flowered
plants wcre produced. So the expected genotypes of the parents in\,olvcd in this cross
werc ccBBpp x ('('hhPp pink and blue tlowercd plants werc with C'cnhl'p and
('cBhpp genotypes. Sslfing these plants produced some tripple rccessivc genotypes for
white flower colour.
From the other cross between the white flowered genotypes in I:, pink and blue
flowers were resulted. So the expected genotypes of the parcnts involved in this cross
were CChhPP x CcBhpp, the F I pink genotype is C-B-P- and blue gcnotype is ('-B-pp.
Fl segregation of pink colour gave all h e e flower colours pink C'-B-P-, hluc with C'-B-
pp and white with CCbbpp. ('chhPP, CchhPp, C'C'hhpp. ccBBPP, ccBBPp. ccBBpP,
ccBbPP, ccBbPp ccBbpp, cchhPP, cchhPp and n,hbpp llerc also we got tripple
recessive genotypes and blue flowers segregated into blue C'-8-pp and white with ('-
hhpp, ccB-pp, ccB-Pp and cchhpp
Thus from this study flower colour uas observed to be governed by three genes
and white flowered genotypes can have different constilution as proposed by Ayyar and
Balasubramanian (1936) Davis (1991 ), Vijayalakshmi (I99R). I'cfera (1998). Kunlar
et r r l . (2000). In this study various genetic constitutions for white flower colour including
one tripple recessive homozygous genotype were determined.
Considering the occurance of various shades of the colours ohscrved in this study
and 22 genes known for flower colour in the related genus Pislrm ~t is apparent that more
than three loci govern flower colour in chickpea Kumar (1097). 1:urthcr studies are
therefore, warranted to investigate evolution of this character.
5.3 Association of traits in the cross ICC 5716 x ICC 17101
An understanding of the nature of association of yield and yield contributing
characters are of great significance in proper planning of selection programmes and
genetic improvement of these characteristics. The associat~on are from t h ~ s study are
discussed here under.
I n the cross ICC 5716 x ICC 1 7101 in F? and FI generations seed yield per plant
is positively correlated with plant height (0.50**) (0.547*+) respectively. Dut this is
varies with Reddy and Rao (1988). Jahhar and Manne (1991). Al i (1990). Yadav (1090).
Bhambota er u l (1994). Akdag and Sehirali (1092). Snthc er rrl (1993). Arora and
Kumar (1994). Lal er n l (1993). Sandhu and Mangath (1995) who reported negative
association with yield and no association was rcported by Reddy and Ran (1988). Jahhar
and Manne (1 991) and Vijayalakshimi ( 1098).
Yield is positively correlatcd \\ith number ol' pods per plant in I:] and
Pigenerations (0.864"). (0.813**) respectively. (Salimath and Bahl. 1986; Mishra
el cil. 1988; Reddy and Rao, 1988; Yadav. 1990; Abdali. 1992: Chavan c/ rri.. 1994;
Ozdcmer. 1996; Manjare cr 01.. 1997; Vijayalakshmi. 1998).
Yield per plant is highly positively corrclatcd w ~ t h numher o f seeds pcr plant in
both F2 and I;? generation. (0.946") and (0.875**) respectibely. supporting Reddy and
Rao (1988), Sandhu and MandaI(1989). Yadab (1990). Akdag and Sel~irali (1002). Sathc
er u l (1993). Chand and Singh (1997) Vijayalakshmi (1998) and Sahayhpour (2000).
Yield per plant is positibely correlated with number o f secondary hranchcs In I.'*
(Sharma and Maloo (1988); Uddin r r u l (1990): Abdali (1992): Rao er ul (1994);
Khorgade er u l (1995) and Manjare r r u1(1997), Vijayalakshmi (1998). Sabaghpour
(2000) i n Fj no association was observed for secondary branches.
Yield per plant is positively correlated with number o f primary branches per plant
in Fj. ( Salimath and Bahl, 1986, Mishra er a1 1988; Chavan er a1.,1994; Man~are cr ol.,
1997: and Vijayalakshimi. 1998 ). In FZ generation number ofprimary branches per plant
is having no association with yield per plant. Yield per plant is positively correlated with
width of the plant in both FZ and Fi generations.
Yield per plant shows non significant correlation in both I:? and FI generations
with, days to 50% flowering. But Ali (1990). Sawaliya and Goyal (1094). Sandhu and
Mangath (1995). Qayyum el ul. (1997) and Kaghu (2001) reported association \*.ith yield
per plant.
In both F2 and Figenerations yield pcr plant is showing non s~gnificant correlation
with days to maturity (Bhambotha er rrl.1994; Kaghu. 2001). hut ncgativc association
was observed by Qayyum e/ 01, (1997). Yield per plant is slwwing no corrclation with
days to 50% flowering in both F, and FI generations. But Kahman and I'artli (IOXX) and
Kaghu (2001) reported negative association w ~ t h yield per plant.
Yield per plant showing no association in hoth 1:2 and 1:) generations with days to
first pod formation. This is differing from Qayyunl er ul (1997) and Raghu (2001).Yield
per plant showed non significant association w ~ t h 100 seed \*.eight and initial plant stand.
5.3.1 Association of traits among different genotypes o f white flower colour
Phenotypic corrc!ation studies \*.ere carried out to find out thc association^ among
important traits from different white flower colour genotypes..
Yield per plant among white flo\*.er genotypes showed a non signilicant
association with all the traits under study (Bhambotha er u l , 1994 and Raghu. 2001)
except with number of pods per plant ( Manjare er u l 1997; Vijayalakshmi. 1998; Or
et a1 . 1999; Sabaghpour, 2000 ). Number of pods per plant is correlating with number of
secondary branches per plant ( Bejiga ef a / , 1991 : Chhina el ( I / . , 1991: Abdali.1992:
Vijayalakshmi. 1998). Plant height showed positive association with nuniber of
secondary branches per plant (Choudhary and Mian. 1988: Vijayalakshmi. 1998) and
with number of pods per plant it varies from Vijayalakshmi (1998) who suggested
negative association. Number of pods per plant is showing negative association with 100
seed weight ( Lal ef ui.. 1993: and Vijayalakshmi,l998) \chile number of seeds per plant
also showing negative association with 100-seed weight (Sandhu and Mandal.lO80;
Pundir el a / , 1991; Dasgupta rf trl. 1992: Sathc r~ id 1903). Days to 50% t lo~cr ing is
more positively associated with days to maturity ( Arora and Jeena. 1999: and Rughu,
2001), days to first flowering is tnorc positively associated with days to maturity
( Sharma and Maloo. 1988: Raghu. 2001).
The study is useful as it s h o ~ e d that stem pigmentation and flower colour are
not pleiotropic traits as has always been reported in the literature. 'fliis indicates (hat
different mechanisms are operating for these characters. I:urther studies are needed to
determine the genes for these traits in chickpea.
Development of tripple recessive genotype for white tlower colour will simplify
allelic tests for flower colour in future chickpea studies. These genotypes will be
registered as genetic stocks.
CHAPTER VI
SUMMARY
The inheritance of stem pigmentation and tlowur colour and the association
among important traits in chickpca (('iccr urirtinlrm I..) were studied at the Internntionol
Crops Research institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISA'f) IJatanchcru, ncnr
Hyderabad, A.P. during the 2000-01 post- rainy season. The li~llowing t a o expcri~nents
were conducted:
Experiment l
In this experiment the inheritance of stem pigmentation and Iloacr colour was
investigated. 'Two accessions ICC 5716 and ICC 17101 ae re used as parents. 1CC 5716
has sten1 with low purple pigmentation with pink tlowers and IC'C 17101 has stcm with
high purple pignientation ai th white floacrs. Data was recorded on stem pigmentation
and flower colour. The Iblloaing results were obtained:
Monogenic inheritance was confirmed Ihr the two ~norphological chi~racters low
v , high pigmentation of stem and pink and whitc llowcr colour. Joint segregation Ibr
these two characters fit ae l l to the digenic ratio of 9:3:3: 1 for the data for I:, generation.
indicating independent assortment of the two genes. 'I'hc traits showed no plciotropic
effect for stem pigmentation and floaer colour. Low pigmented stem is dominant to thc
highly pigmented stem and pink floaer is dominant to the whitc flower colour. 'The 1::
generation results were confirmed by those for the I:i generation.
Correlations estimated among quantitative characters and yield in comparison of
F: generation with F, generation, in both F: and F, generations yield per plant was
5 9
correlated positively with plant height and with number of seeds per p l a t . number of'
secondary branches per plant and with width of the plants. In I:? number of primary
branches per plant, and in F1 days to maturity, 100 seed weight arc not having
associations with any other characters studied. In both and I:\ generations, nunlhcr of
pods per plant is positively corrclated with plant hcight, plant width, nulnbcr o f seeds per
plant. number of secondary hranches per plant and with yield per plant.
Number of seeds per plant in both F? and FI gcncrations, is positively corrclated
with plant height, number of secondary branches, plant width and with yield per plant.
100-seed weight in F2 generation positively correlated with days to 50% flowering and
with days to first flowering but in the F3 gencratlon no correlation is observed.
Experiment 11
This was conducted to determinc different genotypes for white llower coltrur. I:or
this, four parents were used. ICCV 2. RS I I , 1' 39-1, and 1'-]-A. ICCV 2 and RS. I I arc
white flowered and the other two are hlue flowered accessions. Crossing of' ICCV 2 x
T-I-A, and RS I I x T 39-1 produced pink flowers in the 1 1 generation. I:I gcncralion 01'
these crosses segregated into three types of flowers pink, blue and white in 9:3:4 ratio
indicating involvemenl of three gcnes and supplementary lype of gene action. 'l'hesc arc
probably C: B and P loci as earlier reported in the literature. 'Therefore, the genetic
constitution for the four parents and their respective [:I and F2 generations are as follows:
ICCV 2 (white) CC'hhPP, T-I-A (blue) C'CBBpp, F , CC'BhPP (pink) Fz ('-B-P- (pink),
C-B-pp (blue) and white C-hhP- and C-h-pp. RS 11 (white) ccBBPP, 'f 30-1 (blue)
CCBBPP. FI CcBBPp, F2 I-BBP- (pink), ('-BBpp (blue) a d fix white c,c,BB['. and
ccBBpp.
The white flowers from the two crosses were intercrossed which resulted in pink
and blue flowers. The FI generation of these crosses some pink llowercd plants
segregated into all three types; pink, blue and white showing (9:3:4) supplementary type
gene action, some blue tlowered plants segregated into blue and white tlowers and
indicating (9:7) complimentary type of action. I:roni both pink and bluc flowered plants
white tlowered progenies resulted that may have the tripple recessive genotypes.
Some white flower plant genetic constitution may be heterorygous condition. Ilowcver.
for the first time a chickpea with a tripple recessive ccbbpp genotype for white llowcr
colour has been determined.
Yield per plant among different white flower types showed no association with
any traits under study except with number of pods per plant. 100 seed weight was
negatively correlated with days to maturity and with numbcr of pods per plant with
number of seeds per plant. Days to 50% tlowering was positively higl~ly corrclatcd
significantly with days to first flowering, days to first pod, days to maturity, plant height
and plant width. Number of pods per plant was positively correlated significantly with
plant height, number of secondary branches, and with number of seeds per plant, and
with plant width and with yield per plant but positively correlated with 100 seed weight.
The study is useful as it showed that stem pigmentation aid llower colour are not
pleiotropic traits us has always been reported in the literature. Ue\.elopment of tripple
recessive genotype for white flower colvur will simplify allelic tests for llower colour in
future chickpea studies.
