Abstract :
Genetic variability and trait correlations were investigated in a study conducted at The University of Agriculture, Peshawar during the growing season 2010-11. Data were recorded on days to flower completion, plant height, seed pod^-1, 100 seed weight, oil, protein, glucosinolate, linolenic acid and erucic acid content. Highly significant (P≤0.01) variation was observed for all traits except 100 seed weight. Correlations were positive significant for plant height with seed pod^-1(0.37*), days to flowering completion with linolenic acid (0.47**), 100 seed weight with protein content (0.37*), oil content with erucic acid content (0.85**). Likewise negative significant associations were observed for oil content with protein content (-0.56**), 100 seed weight with linolenic acid (-0.04*).
