Inheritance of scent was worked out in crosses involving four tall scented varieties and two dwarf non-scented high yielding varieties. The investigations were made during kharif, 1976 on four crosses, viz., ‘Sons × Basmati 370% ‘Jaya × HR 47’, ‘Jaya X HR 59’and ‘Jaya × HR 22’. The presence or absence of scent on individual plant basis in F1 and F2 was studied through leaf analysis in hot water at tillering stage.
