What is it about?
Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (Linn.)] is the third vital oilseed crop in the world which contributes 28.6% in the production of oilseeds. Genetic diversity assessment plays a fundamental role in the preservation and improvement of the targeted plant species.

Why is it important?
Based on the present study, the highest genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of disparity were documented for seed yield per plant tracked by harvest index and numbers of silique per plant. Maximum heritability and genetic advance were documented for seed yield per plot tracked by harvest index, biological yield per plot, days to 50% flowering, length of the main raceme, numbers of silique per plant, seed yield per plant, numbers of seeds per silique, 1000-seed weight and numbers of silique per the main raceme.
Perspectives
Dendrogram constructed on the basis of banding profile of employed markers was able to discriminate some putative drought tolerant genotypes i.e., JS97-52, JS95-60 from rest of the genotypes. The results of the present examination may donate towards enhancement of soybean genotypes to bread drought tolerant varieties.
