Abstract
Rapeseed is an important oilseed crop of Brassicaceae
family. The present investigation on rapeseed comprised of a halfdiallel
set of eight parents, their 28 crosses and two standard checks
viz., GM-2 and GM-3. The experiment was laid out in randomized
block design with three replications at Plant Breeding Farm, Anand
Agricultural University, Anand during rabi, 2011-12. Heterosis,
combining ability, components of genetic variance and graphical
analysis were studied for fourteen characters viz., days to 50%
flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), primary branches per
plant, secondary branches per plant, length of main branch (cm),
siliquae on main branch, total siliquae per plant, length of siliquae
