Abstract

Four species of Brassica viz., Brassica juncea, B. napus, B. carinata and B. campestris were evaluated over two years for plant type traits including basal branching. In B. juncea there was greater variation for plant height but not for seed yield. It was only next to B. campestris followed by B. napus for variation in basal branching trait. While, in B. campestris there was no genetic variation for basal branching trait, but it showed greater variation for days to flowering, total number of primary and secondary branches.
