Abstract
Twenty two advance Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss.] genotypes were evaluated to assess genotypic variability in physio-biochemical parameters under late sown conditions. On the basis of this study, it was found that genotypes RH-8814, NRCDR-02 and BPR-549-9 recorded maximum values of relative water content (RWC %), chlorophyll stability index (CSI %), chlorophyll content (mg/g f. wt. leaf tissue) and lesser membrane injury index (MII %) over other genotypes at different growth stages. Thus RH-8814, NRCDR-02 and BPR-549-9 indicated their involvement in mechanism of terminal heat tolerance. Genotypes NRCDR-701, NPJ-113, NPJ-117, RGN-773, RGN-197, RH-0116 and DRMR-537-40 recoded a moderate heat tolerance which is preferable under late sown irrigated condition. So they can be used as donors in crossing programs to evolve new mustard genotypes having thermal tolerance.
