Studies were made on thirty crosses (Fo) involving three CMS lines and 10 restorer parents. The influence of different pollen sources on the female parents was positive and significant for all the characters studied. Five pollen parents R 6D-1, R X-13. R 857. RLC 2Br and R IV 83 were found to influence all seed characters when pollinated on three CMS lines. The percent increase of Fo seed values over mean sibbed values of females ranged from 5.67 to 21.51 for 1000 seed weight, 0.79 to 9.04 for oil content, 2.72 to 20.39 for seed density. 0.18 to 13.61 for volume weight. - 0.45 to 13.00 for K/H ratio and -0.99 to 7.39 for hull content. These results indicated the stimulating effect of foreign pollen on resulting seed characters at the Fo level.
