Abstract

Lines of Brassica juncea with tetralocular (four-valved) pods were produced by interspecific hybridization between dilocular (two-valved) B. juncea var. Pusa Barani and tetralocular yellow-seeded turnip rape (Brassica rapa ssp. trilocularis) var. YID-1. Some selected lines were significantly superior to their parents for some agronomic traits, including seed yield and harvest index. Line 11 was the best among these and recorded 70% yield advantage in plot yield.
