Abstract

Present experiment was undertaken to study the morphological and phenological variations among the three different accessions viz. E2435736, E2435738 and E2466700 of Sesbania cannabina obtained from NBPGR, New Delhi, India. For this purpose dry and healthy seeds were soaked in distilled water for 14 hours. After soaking seeds were sown in field in a definite pattern at Department of Botany, University of Allahabad, Allahabad, India. Sowing was done in the month of June, 2009. Data for germination and survival percentages were taken after 15 and 30 days, respectively. The study of phenology was undertaken to investigate number of days required for flowering initiation in all three accessions. The morphotaxonomy of three accessions showed that accession no. E2435738 and E2466700 are closer to each other than the E22435736. Accession number E22435736 was found to be an early flowering accession.
