Brassica genetic resources, Rapeseed-mustardAbstract
Brassicaceae family is of immense economic significance since human civilization. Over 3,700 species in 338 genera, with significant morphological diversity and uses has been reported in Brassicaceae. To meet the expanding need for rapeseed-mustard varietal improvement, the evaluation of the diverse genetic resources and dissemination of the information generated is a pre-requisite. A total of 31 trait specific rapeseed-mustard germplasm were developed and conserved at ICAR-DRMR, Bharatpur to use in mustard improvement programme.
