Abstract excerpt
Seed glucosinolate content in Brassica juncea is a complex quantitative trait. A recurrent selection backcross (RSB) method with a doubled haploid (DH) generation interspersing backcross generations was used for the introgression of low glucosinolate alleles from an east European gene pool B. juncea line, Heera into an Indian gene pool variety, Varuna. Phenotypic comparisons among the DH populations derived from...
