Genetic studies in mulberry seedlings by diallel analysis

Genus Morus includes more than 20 species, some of which are commercially important mulberries with different utilities. Even though these species propagated by rooting cuttings in practice, mulberry seeds importance for breeding studies and rootstock seedling propagation. For that reason, this study was conducted to know the seed performance germination emergence traits four varieties viz, V1, G4, S36, MR2 using 4× 4 complete diallel mating design. According results both non – additive gene actions inheritance traits. Progenitors V1 were found be best combiners most studied.
