Abstract

Bright yellow petal colour is the characteristic of family Brassicaceae, however the white petal flowers in mustard (Brassicajuncea L.) are often observed. White/ yellow petal colour, being distinct in phenotype, may be a useful morphological marker for many studies in breeding programmes. In the present investigation, white and yellow flowers were observed in F3 generation of a cross B 33 x Sanjucta asech. These plants were selfed and in the subsequent generatons (F4 -F7), near isogenic lines (NIL) with white and yellow colour were developed.
