INTERVARIETAL HYBRIDIZATION AND CROSSABILITY STUDIES IN TURNIP | BIONATURE

Six varietal populations of Indian turnip were studied for intervarietal hybridization and crossability (Brassica rapa L.). Except for a few crossings, the cross-incompatibility was found to be less severe. When different turnip types were crossed, they reacted differently. The seed and silique set also differed greatly. The crosses were also influenced by the environmental conditions and the date of sowing. There were reciprocal differences. F1 hybrids outperformed their parents in most ways, which could be due to heterosis. Meiosis in F1 hybrids was shown to be more balanced and normal than in their parental forms.
