    Abstract:
    Studies on callus growth and shoots/cotyledon, using seven different genotypes of pigeonpea and their hybrid progenies, revealed continuous variation for these traits. Hence, the type of gene action influencing in vitro cell proliferation and differentiation has been investigated in a diallel analysis of seven pigeonpea genotypes. Highly significant average heterosis was recorded for callus growth and seed yield/plant. In general, the F1 hybrids which showed heterosis for callus growth also exceeded their better parent for yield/ plant. Combining ability analysis revealed both additive and non-additive gene effects for callus growth, while number of shoots/cotyledon was mostly governed by non-additive gene effects. The genotype, 'ICP 7035', was the best general combiner for callus growth and shoot forming capacity of cotyledons. Two cross combinations, '7186'×'6974' and '7035'×'T-21', showed maximum SCA effects for callus growth and shoots/cotyledon. Callus dry weight was positively correlated with seed yield/plant and seedling weight. The strong positive association of callus growth with seed yield indicates the possibility of using this system for mass screening and selection of superior hybrids.
