Genetical Studies for Yield and Contributing Traits in Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern. & Coss.)

Gaurav Kumar, Alok Kumar

Abstract

Four genetical population of mustard (P1, P2, F1 & F2) developed by crossing of six cultivars/strains (viz. Kanti, Maya, Ashirvad, Pusa Jagganath, RLM 198 and Durgamani) were used for the estimation of gene effects for 11 quantitative characters. Theresults indicated that both additive and non additive gene action contributed in the inheritance of yield and yield contributing characters. Duplicate type of epistasis was more prevalent. The simple or pedigree selection followed by biparental mating is suggested for needful.
