Abstract

The present investigation was aimed to study the performance of F1 progenies of crosses between Brassica carinata A. Braun and Brassica rapa L. considering their morphological characters, agronomic traits and yield attributes. Increased vegetative growth in F1 progenies over their parents was observed. F1 progeny exhibited wider ranges of variations compared to the female parents for all characters studied. F1 progenies had taller plants and larger flowers than the female parent B. carinata. Average pollen fertility in the F1 progeny was lower than female parent. F1 progeny from the cross of Brassica carinata × Brassica rapa var.BAU M.91 had comparatively higher percentages of pollen fertility as well as siliqua setting. Number of seeds per siliqua were found to be lower than their female parent. Mean seed weight per plant in the F1 progenies was lower than the parents. Days to flowering in the F1 progenies were in between the parents and closer to the B. rapa parent. F1 progeny from the cross of Brassica carinata × Brassica rapa var. BAU M.91 were found to be promising considering morphological characters, agronomic traits, pollen fertility, yield attributes like percentage of fully developed seed, seed weight etc. These F1 progenies could be evaluated in the subsequent generations to select the stable and desirable Brassica breeding lines for the development of synthetic hexaploid (AABBCC) Brassica with traits of economic importance.
