Genetic behaviour of leaf weight and carbohydrate content of seven parents and their 21 F1s (without reciprocals) has been estimated following combining ability analysis. Non-additive gene effect was noticed in sugar content and additive gene effect was in fresh and dry leaf weight and starch content. The parents palmate leaf, tobacco leaf and JRO-632 are better general combiners whereas crumpled leaf, yellow mutant, stiff stemmed and ribbon leaf are the poor. Majority of the cross combinations involving poor x poor general combiners gave high SCA effects.
