Description
Omkar Maharudra Limbalkar and colleagues study mustard lines bred for dry conditions in 2026 field work. Indian mustard yields suffer when rain fails, so water thrift matters. The team crossed in traits from a hardier Brassica cousin and raised 191 hybrid lines.
The lines were grown under rainfed and watered plots and scored for growth and yield traits. The new lines beat their parents on dry matter, seed yield per plant, and harvest share in both settings. Under drought they matched parent growth rates while storing more growth for the seed stage. A balanced flow from leaves to seeds marked the best lines. Thirteen lines stood out for dry plots.
