Abstract
Genetic and cytoplasmic effects on chlorophyll content in pearl millet were studied using a complete 10-parent diallel cross under two dates of sowing. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and chlorophyll a + b were not affected by the sowing dates. The estimation of components of genetic variance indicated a predominantly non-additive gene action in the inheritance of chlorophylls. Reciprocal cross differences and maternal effects were pronounced in several cross combinations.Entities:
