dc.description.abstractResearch had been carried out on 190 F 3 plants derived from mineral rich Indica and elite basmati rice variety. Out of 190, 50 plants were derived from Pusa Basmati 1 x Palman 579 and 140 plants were derived from Pusa Basmati 1 x HKR 95-157 cross. These F 3 plants were analyzed for mineral content and agronomical traits. A large variation was observed for plant height (100-168 and 90-163 cm), effective number of tillers per plant (5-19 and 7-30), panicle length (24.4-34.8 and 20.2-32), length/breadth (L/B) ratio (3.44-6.71 and 3.46-5.81), 1000-grain weight (18.1-30.7 and 11.4-29.6 g), yield per plant (3.9-40 and 8.11-60.12 g) in F 3 populations of Pusa Basmati 1 x Palman 579 and Pusa Basmati1 x HKR 95-157 respectively. Analysis of micronutrient content including Fe and Zn content revealed that the Fe and Zn contents in parents Pusa Basmati 1, Palman 579 and HKR 95-157 was 33.6, 16.5 µg/g, 363.53, 22.16 µg/g and 422.13, 17.4 µg/g respectively. The Fe and Zn content among the 50 Pusa Basmati 1 x Palman 579 F 3 plants ranged from 1.2-355.2 and 7.3-112.5 µg/g respectively whereas the Fe and Zn content in plants derived from 140 Pusa Basmati 1 x HKR 95-157 F 3 plants was 5.8-251.7 µg/g and 8.8-43.4 µg/g. For aroma out of 50 as much as 30 plants were found to be aromatic and out of 140, 94 plants were found to be aromatic in crosses Pusa Basmati 1 x Palman 579 and Pusa Basmati 1 x HKR 95 157 respectively. The F 3 plants were analyzed to get the plants which have a combination of desirable traits and 20 superior progenies with suitable traits had been selected.en_US
