Abstract
Six CMS (CMS-342, CMS-343, CMS-349, CMS-351, CMS-352 and CMS-353) and five testers (RHA -344, RHA-345, RHA-346, RHA-348 and RHA-354) with high oleic acid were crossed for combining ability analysis. It was carried out at GKVK, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, India. Non-additive gene action was observed for days to 50 percent flowering, plant height, head diameter, stem girth, seed yield per plant, oil content and oleic acid whereas additive gene action was noticed for 100 seed weight. Among females HA-351 was the best general combiner for oleic acid, HA-342 for seed yield per plant and HA-349 for earliness and oil content. The male tester RHA-344 was the best combiner for seed yield per plant and RHA-348 for oleic acid, oil content and plant height. The crosses CMS-349 x RHA-346, CMS-353 x RHA-348 and CMS-343 x RHA-346 were the best cross combinations for oleic acid, oil content and seed yield plant respectively.
