Combining ability was studied for identification of potential cultivars and hybrids, and the nature of gene action involved for inheritance of cottonseed traits and oil content % in a 6x6 diallel cross in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) during 2003-2005. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant (p less than or equal to 0.01) differences among the genotypes for all the traits. Combining ability studies showed that the mean squares due to general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were mostly significant in F1 and F2 generations. Genetic components of variances due to GCA and SCA revealed that most of the traits were controlled by additive type of gene action in both generations because of greater GCA variances. However, seeds per boll and cottonseed oil % in F1 generation gained preponderance of SCA variances having non-additive type of gene action. Cultivar CIM-1100 was found as leading general combiner in combination with other cultiv
