Abstract:
Linum usitatissimum L. is the binomial name for linseed, which belongs to the Linum genus of the Linaceae family and advance varietal trial was constituted by the entries promoted from initial varietal trial on the criteria specified. Morphological characters namely days to the first flower (33 to 40days), days to 50% flowering (first 50% flower from 46 to 52 days), height of plant (55 to 77.75 cm), number of primary branches per plant (branches varied from 2.00 to 7.00), number of capsules per plant (ranged from 26.5 to 67.50), number of seeds per capsule(ranged from 7.5 to 10.00 seeds per capsule), 1000 seeds weight (g) (from 5.52 to 8.68g), color of flower (white and blue) were recorded in AVT. Eight ISSR and Five SSR Primers were utilized for genetic diversity analysis. The dendrogram produced from linseed genotypes show three main cluster.
