Deployment of Brassica carinata A. Braun Derived Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. Lines for Improving Heterosis and Water Use Efficiency Under Water Deficit Stress Conditions
Among Brassica species, Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun) is known to tolerate most abiotic stresses, including drought. Drought caused by low and erratic rainfall in semi-arid regions consistently challenges rapeseed mustard productivity. Development of B. carinata-derived lines (CDLs)...

Among Brassica species, Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun) is known to tolerate most abiotic stresses, including drought. Drought caused by low and erratic rainfall in semi-arid regions consistently challenges rapeseed mustard productivity. Development of B. carinata-derived lines (CDLs) in Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. nuclear background, carrying genomic segments from B. carinata, are expected to tolerate moisture deficit stress conditions. The present study was, thus, aimed to establish the phenomenon “heterosis” for drought tolerance and water use efficiency by evaluating 105 hybrids developed from intermating 15 CDLs in half diallel fashion. Data on 17 seed yield and yield contributing traits were recorded under two different environments, viz., irrigated and rainfed conditions. Traits under study were found to be governed by both additive and non-additive types of gene action. Average degree of dominance was higher (>2) for yield and yield contributing traits, viz., secondary branches/plant, point to first siliqua on main shoot, total siliquae/plant, 1,000-seed weight, seed yield/plant, biological yield, harvest index, and seed yield/hectare under rainfed conditions, clearly indicating that higher productivity under drought conditions can be realised through the development of hybrids.
