N2  - Stability analysis of fourteen mutants of Coleus comprising of eleven promising 
mutants, two released varieties and one local cultivar was conducted at four locations in 
four districts of Kerala, namely, Palakkad, Malappuram, Thrissur and Ernakulam 
during Khariff, 2001. 
The selected mutants showed significant differences for many of the economic 
traits over locations. For increasing the tuber yield in Co le us, selection should be based 
on low tuber number, low starch content and high protein content. Further the tubers 
should be white coloured, delicious, non-groovy and smooth. The study revealed that 
the ideal plant architecture in Coleus should have optimum tuber number, white 
coloured delicious non-groovy tubers with optimum starch and protein content, good 
texture and medium flavour. 
The stability analysis identified mutants '641' and '352' as the most stable high 
yielding well adapted genotype for many of the economic traits over locations.
