Abstract


Combining ability analysis for four characters, viz, plant height, number of branches, capsules per plant and grain yield in F1 diallel cross involving six diverse lines of sesamum are reported. The combining ab lity showed that GCA had higher magnitude than SCA, The estimates of heritability revealed that non-additive type of gene action was more important for all the cherectora The estimatus of variances for osch line showed that Bahadurpur II was the best live fur whereas T315-72 was youd for transmitting GCA verisices, Recurrent selection technique in early segregating generation is suggested for improvement of sesamum.
