In order to study the mode of gene action for sheath blight resistance and yield related traits a cross was made. Five populations viz., P1, P2, F1, F2, and F3 were derived from the cross between high yielding susceptible rice variety ‘Swarna sub-1’ and resistant line ‘Tetep’. The sheath blight susceptible high yielding variety Swarna sub-1 showed high disease severity (60.46%) compared with resistant parent Tetep (17.72%) whereas intermediate disease severity was observed in F1 and three segregating populations. Among F1, F2 and F3 population, F1 showed less disease severity (20.09%) than F2 and F3 populations. The Swarna sub-1 recorded higher grain yield per plant compared with Tetep while the F1 yielded more grain yield compared with the donor parent but less than the recurrent parent, but in the two segregating populations (F2 and F3), grain yield per plant were intermediate than non-segregating generations. All the traits related to yield as well as sheath blight resistance were significant in either one of the scales or in combination representing the existence of epistatic interactions between the genes involved. The dominance (h) and dominance × dominance (l) gene effects displayed opposite sign for the traits number of reproductive tillers per plant, plant height, days to maturity, length and breadth ratio after cooking and gel consistency indicating duplicate epistasis while complementary for days to heading, panicle length, weight of panicle, number of spikelets per panicle, test weight, yield per plant, length and breadth ratio before cooking, amylose content and per cent disease severity.
