Gami, R.A. | Chauhan, R.M.
Heterosis and combining ability was estimated for oil content and oil quality traits in Indian mustard with the help of Line X Tester matting design of total 34 accessions comprised ten parental genotypes (six female and four male) and their 24 F₁ hybrids of Indian mustard at S.D.Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar. Eight hybrids recorded significant and positive heterobeltiosis for oil yield. The range of heterobeltiosis varied from -9.48 per cent (SKM-9033 x GM 2) to 6.96 per cent (BPR-610-50-6 x VARUNA). Parent PUSA BOLD was proved to be good donors for oil content, linolenic acid and glucosinolate. PBR-122 for oil content, oleic acid, linolenic acid, erucic acid and Glucosinolate, PCR-7 good combiner for erucic acid, SKM-9033 having good gene for increasing oleic acid and linoleic acid content. Parent BPR-610-50-6 good for oil content, oleic acid, linolenic acid and glucosinolate. The hybrid SKM-9033 x VARUNA pursued by BPR-610-50-6 x VARUNA and BIO-902 x PUSA BOLD and SKM-9820 x GM 2 proved high sca effects for oil content.
