Abstract

A total of 13 parents and 30 F1 progenies from a 10 X 3 line X tester series was evaluated for three yield components. Estimates of general and specific combining ability variances showed that gene action was predominantly nonadditive for all three characters. When used as male parents, E100Y was the best general combiner for effective height (length of the pod-bearing part of the branch) and pod number per plant and RS11 was the best for number of seed-containing pods per plant. The best combiner for effective height and number of seed-containing pods per plant among the female parents was G130.
