Combining abilities were estimated for three characters: fruit number per plant, individual fruit weight and yield per plant in egg plant (Solanum melongena L.). The variance due to GCA and SCA were highly significant for all the characters studied, indicating the importance of both additive and non-additive gene effects. The parent P4 was a good general combiner for individual fruit weight and yield per plant. The genetic components of variation suggested the importance of dominance for fruit number and individual fruit weight. The graphical analysis indicated the wide genetic diversity among the parents.
