Abstract
In the present study, the development of new basmati line HUBR-16 has been reported from single plant selections from an F2 population of the cross between TBD-2 and Pusa Sugandh-2. HUBR-16 has attained uniformity in morphological and grain cooking characters. The genotype HUBR-16 recorded superiority over Taraori Basmati and Pusa 1121 with respect to earliness, and yield potential at par with Pusa 1121. Along with earliness and high yield, HUBR-16 is as good as Pusa 1121 for major grain quality traits viz., kernel length, kernel breadth and kernel length after cooking. This line may be utilized as a parent in breeding programmes for accumulation of favorable genes for kernel elongation after cooking.
