Summary

Four bruchid-susceptible and four bruchid-resistant cow-pea cultivars were crossed to produce 16 F1s and their reciprocals. From each cross, six generations, P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1, BC2, were obtained. Each cross was fitted to the additive-dominance model. Estimates of additive and dominance variances were obtained from the half and full sib analyses of the F1s and their reciprocals respectively. It was demonstrated that resistance to cow-pea weevils has additive, dominance and maternal components.
