Abstract:

The triple test cross analysis has been applied to the study of additive, dominance and epistatic components of genetic variance for some plant performance traits, namely plant height, number of bolls, boll weight, number of seeds per boll and seed cotton yield in (Gossypium hirsutum L.) under two NaCl concentrations (10 & 20 dSm-1). The NaCI salinity caused significant reduction in the characters studied. The results of the genetic analysis revealed that the epistatic component was an important element for all the characters studied.
