Description 1075-1083
Twenty-six accessions of sweet basil collected from different parts of the country were observed for morphological and
quantitative parameters. These accessions were recorded for oil gland type, size of peltate gland (PG), sepal, flower colour,
stem girth, branching pattern, growth habits and leaf colour. In addition to that, accessions were observed for herbage
parameters viz., maximum plant height, plant spread, stem girth, fresh leaf, dry leaf, herbage and oil yield, and DOB-8W
was found superior as compared to checks. Maximum number of PGs on abaxial leaf as compare to adaxial leaf surface
were recorded at all the three stages (young, mature and old based on leaf position on axis). Though, formation of PGs takes
place in younger leaves only. Number of PGs on abaxial surface of young leaf, green leaf colour and oil content in leaf has
positive relationship. The leaf colour intensity (purple) is to be marker character for evaluation of large number of
accessions for oil content.
