| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Evaluation of Lepidium sativum Linn. strains under mid hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh.” wascarried out in the experimental field and Laboratory of the Department of Forest Products, College of Forestry, Dr. Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (H.P.) during 2012-13 & 2013-14. In the first experiment “Morphological and yield Studies” morphological features and yield of all the eight germplasm accessions were recorded for plant height, main shoots/ plant, no. of lateral branches/ plant, leaf characteristics, aerial biomass/ plant, aerial biomass (kg/ ha), main root length, dry root yield, seed yield and 1000 seed weight. All the eight germplasm accessions showed differences in morphological details with regard to basal and middle leaf shapes. On the basis of apical leaf shape, all the germplasm accessions evaluated were found to be uniform in shape. On the basis of maximum plant height, fresh and dry aerial biomass yield and main root length, MLS-1007 appears to be better in comparison to all other evaluated accessions. In second experiment “Phenological and Floral biology studies” days to initiation of flowering, 50% flowering stage and full flowering stage days after the seed sowing were recorded. No inter-accessions difference in floral biology was noticed amongst the eight accessions evaluated and the type of dichogamy present in its flower is protogyny. In the third experiment “Pollination studies” two different pollination treatments (open and self pollination) were studied by using t-test. Observations recorded were seed yield/ plant, seed germination percentage and 1000 seed weight. The species was found to favour self pollination (about 85%). In fourth experiment “Meiotic studies” the species was found to be diploid with 2n=24 with normal meiosis and 88.53% pollen stainability. | en_US |
