Abstract

An experiment was conducted with five CMS lines and ten restorer lines to estimate the interrelationships among the grain quality parameters. Amylose content, gel consistency, water uptake, alkali value and L/B ratio recorded non significant correlation with grain yield. Significant positive correlation was noticed between amylose content and gel consistency. Selection based on amylose content, water uptake, L/B ratio, gel consistency will be effective.
