Abstract

A study was made to compare the potential of artificially synthesized Brassica juncea strains in inter-varietal crosses for basal branching characters and seed yield. Sixty four F3 families of synthetic x synthetic, synthetic x cultivar, and cultivar x cultivar crosses were studied and from among them thirty two superior F3 families were selected and advanced to F4 generation. Artifically synthesized materials generate more useful variability than those by usual inter-varietal crosses.
