Field pea (Pisum sativum L. var. arvense.) is amongst the most
important legume crop of India, belongs to family Leguminoseae or
Fabaceae. Based on triennium ending 2010-11, the contribution of
Fieldpeas to total pulses area in India was 3%.In India,
productivity of this crop has remained stagnant and area is
shrinking due to competition from irrigated wheat, and more
remunerative pulses. To increase the production of this crop there
is need to operate field pea breeding programme in efficient
manner. Selection of parents with the combination of desired genes
is the key to success in a hybridization breeding programme. By
selection of desirable parents and through hybridization between
selected parents, there are chances to break the already existing
plateau, and to obtain transgressive segregants in the future
generations. Thus the present book deals to identify transgressive
segregants, which would mainly depend upon the genetic parameters
of various quantitative traits, their mutual associationship and
their direct and indirect effects on yield. This book is a useful
study material for the researchers in the field of Genetics and
Plant Breeding.
