Subashini, G. | Sevugaperumal, S.
Combining ability analysis in sesame through L x T design with 7 lines and five testers were evaluated for yield and yield contributing characters viz., Days to 50 per cent flowerig, Plant height, number of branches per plant, number of capsules on main stem, number of capsules on main branches, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, 1000 seed weight, oil content and single plant yield. The parents NIC 7937, NIC 7907, NIC8010 and TMV 3 were considered as better parents based on gca effect for most of the characters studied. The hybrids NIC 7936 x VRI 1, NIC7907 x TMV 3, NIC 7936 x TMV 3, NIC 7907 x SVPR 1, NIC7933 x TMV 3, NIC 7908 x CO 1 and NIC 7936 x CO 1 had significant gca effects for majority of the traits. So these hybrids can be considered as suitable for recombination breeding for deriving superior segregants for the traits studied.
