ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted with ten diverse parental lines to identify the superior parents and hybrids for qualitative traits with respect to GCA and SCA effects in mustard by using diallel analysis without reciprocals. GCA and SCA variances were highly significant for seed yield per plant, oil content, protein content and lenoleic acid suggested importance of both additive and non additive type of gene action in the inheritance of these characters. Parents PUSA BOLD and GM1 exhibited significant gca effects for seed yield, protein content, oil content and Lenoleic acid content and emerged out to be good combiners. Three cross combinations namely, GM1 X BIO 902, GM3 x GDM4 and PUSA BOLD x PCR7 were exhibited significant sca effects for seed yield and some of its related qualitative traits.
