Abstract

Fifty Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton accessions, collected from different parts of north­eastern region of India including one exotic collection from Australia were evaluated to assess the genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for thirteen morphologi­cal and yield traits. Significant genetic variation was observed for all the characters. Higher estimates of heritability coupled with high to moderate estimates of genetic advance as percentage of mean were observed for plant heights, number of leaves plant-1, petiole length, number of primary branches plant-1, length of main inflorescence, number of inflorescences plant-1 and leaf breadth, seed yield plant-1, 1000-seed weight, showing the possibility of improvement of these traits through selection.
