Development of Introgressed Lines with Unique Characteristics in Brassica carinata

Abstract

Three lines of Brassica carinata 08-304, 08-312, 08-316 derived from inter specific hybridization were evaluated
for morphological traits during 2007-08 and 2008-09. These lines showed significant increase in shoot length, 1000-
seed weight and significant decrease in maturity duration as compared to check Kiran. Development of these lines
is important for Karan rai improvement programme in India.
