| Abstract: | Homozygous diploids were obtained through anther culture in Indian mustard, Brassier juncea, cultivar TM-4, Seeds could be harvested from 97 such plants in the A; generation. The androgenetic lines were further selected and the yield and yield components were compared in the A4 and A5 generations, Androgenetic lines showed variations for most of the characters studied including seed oil content and fatty acid composition. However, it was possible to recover seven lines out of 25 which were equal in seed yield and three equal in oil content compared TO the anther donor parent TM-4. |
