ABSTRACT

Toria variety RVT-1 (RMT-08-7) has been developed from JT-1xT-9 and evaluated for seed yield, oil yield and reaction to insect pest and diseases under AICRP-R&M trials and on farmers’ field. Morphologically plants were erect, spreading in nature and matured in 98-105 days and had more number of primary and secondary branches and more number of seeds/siliqua than checks. It showed its superiority over checks in IVT and AVT trials by 19.20%, 23.63%; whereas, seed yield (1240 Kg/h and 1240 Kg/h) was obtained on farmers field indicated that recorded an increase of 28.50% % and 34.59 % over farmer’s own seed during two successive years respectively. In IVT and AVT, RVT-1 showed 21.33% and 23.49% increase oil yield (kg/h) over checks PT-303 and Bhawani. DNA finger printing profile indicated that primers PUT-3, PUT-181, PUT-171, PUT-154 and PUT- 173 were found useful in generating unique profile for Raj Vijay Toria-1 variety. On this basis of developed 30 bands, this variety could be identified from other variety.

Key words : AVT: Advance Varietal Trial, DNA finger printing, IVT: Initial Varietal Trial, RVT-1: Raj Vijay Toria-1.
