A line x tester (6 x 3) analysis involving morphologically diverse females of triticale showed JNK6T-233 and JNIT-73 as best general combiners for the characters studied. Specific combining ability analysis represented the combinations of best x good (grain number/ear), good x average (ear number, grain weight/ear and grain yield), poor x average (days to maturity) and poor x poor (ear length) general combiners. The epistatic type of gene action appeared to be involved in the most of the cases.
