The study was carried out over two years using modified triple test cross (TCC) design in order to estimate the nature and magnitude of genetic variation for various quantitative traits and protein content in pea. The estimates of additive genetic variance (D) obtained by variances of sums of L1+ L, and L1,+ L+L, were found to be comparable for most of the characters. Partial dominance was predominant for days to maturity, test weight, seed yield and protein content. Plant height exhibited complete to over-dominance, suggesting greater role of dominance gene effect in its inheritance. Narrow sense heritability was high for days to 50% flowering, test weight and protein content. Correlation coefficient between sums and differences were non-significant for all the characters.
