The study was conducted during 2014-15 and 2015-16 at the laboratories of the Department of Seed Science & Technology, CCS HAU, Hisar, to distinguish twenty Indian mustard varieties/genotypes based on chemical tests (phenol, modified phenol, KOH, NaOH, Peroxidase and 2, 4-D Auxin). Phenol test grouped variety into three distinct groups viz., dark reddish brown (12 varieties), dark grey (6 varieties) and Dark red (2 varieties). With the help of modified phenol test these varieties were further sub grouped. KOH test grouped varieties into three distinct groups i.e., dark brown (6 varieties), brown (5 varieties) and light brown (9 varieties). These tests clearly differentiated the varieties of one group to that of another groups on the basis of seed coat colour. NaOH test was not reliable for the differentiation of these varieties because all these varieties showed dark brown colour after treating with NaOH solution. Peroxidase test categorized varieties into three groups viz., high (9 varieties), medium (8 varieties), and (3 varieties) while 2, 4-D Auxin test grouped the varieties into three categories viz., tolerant (4 varieties), susceptible (8 varieties) and highly susceptible (8 varieties).
