Heterosis and combining ability analysis oil content seed yield and its component in linseed

This study was undertaken to estimate the combining ability in linseed through diallel analysis involving eight diverse genotypes. A 8 x 8 full diallel crosses study, including the reciprocals, with linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) was performed to determine both the magnitude of gene action and heterotic performance of the crosses for seed yield, oil content and important yield components.
