Abstract

Combining ability based on line x tester analysis for protein, tryptophan, methionine, lysine, ash and total sulphur contents in field pea (Pisum sativum L.Poir), showed predominance of non- additive gene action in their inheritance. Among the parents, good general combiners were Batri-Brown for protein and total sulphur and Hans for lysine and ash content. Crosses involving Batri-Brown as one of the female parents had maintained superiority for all these quality traits. For protein content hybrids viz., PRS 2 XT 163, HFP 12 XT 163, 179 XT 163, JP 4 X PG 3. HFP 5 X PG 3 and Batri-Brown X Hans were good specific combiners.
