Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) is an important rabi oil seed crop and occupies a prime position due to its high oil content (37-42%). In spite of all the efforts made over past few decades, the productivity has remained almost constant. This may be due to lack of high yielding genotypes with stable performance over the environment. Lack of genetic variability for some important yield components, even in the world germplasms collection, may be attributed to this. Ethiopian mustard (B. carinata A. Braun) is the oldest cultivated oilseed crops (Simmonds, 1979). Interspecific hybridization can easily be forced in the family brassicaceae where gene flow is very limited under natural conditions (Sandhu and Gupta, 2000).
