CONSEQUENCES OF ENFORCED INBREEDING ON OVULE DEVELOPMENT IN CERTAIN OUTCROSSING POPULATIONS OF INDIAN RAPESEED (BRASSICA CAMPESTRIS L. PRAIN)

Published on Oct 02, 2019 02:45 AM

Among the open pollinated varieties of Indian rapeseed stlldied, the depressing effect of
enforced seifing on ovule size was observed to vary between 9.9% in toria variety D.T.S. to
2.10/. inthl! yellow seeded variety Sinoy. The mean value of inbreeding depression was
7.0% in toria, 4.4% in brown sarson and 2.0% in yellow sarson. The trend of the depressing
effect on the ovule developml!nt was also reflected in the similar magnitude in respect of
seeds/siliqua, l000-seed weight and oil content.

Keywords: Indian rapeseed, heterozygosity, inbreeding depression, ovule development.
