Six sunflower inbreds were were crossed in partial diallel fashion to evaluate their general and specific combining ability for yield, yield components and oil content under saline conditions. Specific combining ability (SCA) variances were higher than general combining ability (GCA) variances for all the plant traits studied which manifested non-additive genetic control. However, substantial amount of additive variance was contributing for plant height and oil content. GIMSUN-459 and GIMSUN-318 were high general combiner while GIMSUN-459 x GUNSUM-477 was a good specific combination for production under saline soil conditions.
