A total of 268 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were evaluated
for genetic variability for yield, nutritional and oil quality
traits under two consecutive seasons at two locations.
Analysis showed that variability exists in the population
for the nutritional and oil quality as well as for yield
component traits. Majority of the yield components and oil
quality traits were governed by additive effects. The
nutritional and oil quality traits were not affected by
environmental factors and simple phenotypic selection
ensures increased performance of the genotypes. Yield
components showed moderate to high heritability but with
great influence of environment
