Abstract
The inheritance of diosgenin in fenugreek seed was investigated using seed from parents, F1 and F2 generations grown in an individually randomised field experiment. Evidence based on GLC assay results for monohydroxysapogenin yield, indicates significant genetic segregation for this character in the two crosses examined. The potential exists for the genetic improvement of this and other characters in fenugreek using the hybridisation and assay methods described.
