Abstract: The economic yield showed highly significant positive correlation coefficient with flower length, flower breadth, seed length and pollen grain number per anther per flower. The pollen tube length showed highly significant and positive correlation coefficient with male and female reproductive organ length.
Keywords: Linseed, Character association
