Abstract

From the study of morphological characteristics of plant, it revealed that RHRB-14B genotype was distinct for small seed size, hexagonal seed shape, very late time of spike emergence, purple spike anther colour and very dwarf plant height. The hybrid DHBH-2097 could be identified on the basis of distinct brown spike bristle colour. The hybrid DHBH-2097 and RHRBH-8924 could be differentiated from other hybrids due to its anthocynin pigmentation and loose spike density respectively
