The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (Glomus fasciculatum, AMF) alone or in combination with Azotobacter chroococcum (AMF + Azc) on the magnitude and direction of gene effects and on some morphological and productivity traits in three wheat cultivars and several generations of their crosses as follows: WH 147, WH 533, Raj 3077, WH 147 x WH 533, WH 533 x Raj 3077, and WH 147 x Raj 3077. The application of AMF and AMF + Azc had a positive effect on plant height, peduncle length, grain yield, biological yield and harvest index in various populations of all the crosses. Additive-dominance gene effects were mainly operative in governing expression of peduncle length, tillers per plant, plant height, grains/spike, grain yield. The application of bio-inoculants influenced gene effects especially for days to flowering, days to maturity, flag leaf area, spike length, grains/spike, thousand grain weight and harvest index. Duplicate epistasis was important in all the three crosses for days to flowering and harvest index.
