Abstract
Combining ability studies were mada in 36 crosses involving a U.S male sterile and an Indian inbred as female parents. Indian inbred T55-47 was high combiner as compared to US male sterile Tf23A. The U.S. inbreds differed in combining ability for yield components, but not for grain yield. Performance of the crosses was, as expected, related to the general combining ability of the parents. High specific combining ability was associated with high combining ability of either parent and high X high cominations were the best. Indian X American combinations were superior to American X American combinations. High combining ability was associated with diversity in origin of the parents.
