The present study was carried out to characterize one hundred twenty one along with parents recombinant inbred lines on
the basis of twelve morphological and twelve agronomical traits. Most of the morphological characters showed variation in
different RILs lines. A significant amount of variation was displayed for most of the agronomical traits examined. After
evaluation of one hundred twenty one RILs lines for twelve quantitative characters, on the basis of mean values, top ten
accessions were identified for the yield ancillary traits. These can be used to identify phenotypic ally divergent sources for
traits of interest in breeding programmes. This phenotyping is useful for identification QTLs for yield and yield attributing
traits.
