Efforts are being made to introduce Brassica carinata popularly known as Ethiopian mustard for cultivation in India as an oilseed crop in view of its resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. But due to the non adaptability of direct introductions, it was synthesized in India (Sarla and Raut,1988). White flower and waxy leaves were observed in synthesized B. carinata. Possible association of such morphological traits with aphid tolerance/resistance could be of great use in resistance breeding. Therefore an attempt was made to study the inheritance pattern of these two characters.
