Abstract Ten physicochemical and nutritional quality traits (100-seedweight, seed volume, seed density, bulk density, hydrationcapacity, hydration index, swelling capacity, protein, tryptophanand energy value) were examined in the seed samples of parents,F2 and F3 generations of three microsperma ×microsperma and two microsperma × macrospermacrosses of lentils. Significant variation for different traits wasobserved among the genotypes in both the groups and also amongboth types of crosses in F2 and F3 generations. Ranges,means and coefficients of variation (CV %) for various traitsamong parents, F2 and F3 generations of different crosses,along with the deviations between F2 and F3 generationmeans for various traits in different crosses are discussed. Alsosuggested is a breeding strategy for evolving lentil varieties withimproved seed yield and nutritional quality parameters.
