A study was conducted in okra to estimate the magnitude of gene action involved and to identify the good combiner for fruit yield and other yield attributing characters. 55 okra hybrids derived by crossing of 11parents in diallel mating design excluding reciprocals were studied to assess the combining ability and gene action. The general and specific combining ability variances were significant for all the traits except sca mean square for fruit weight. The σ2 gca and σ2 sca ratio indicated that both additive and non-additive gene action was predominant for the inheritance of different traits. | Genetic architecture combining ability and gene action study in okra Abelmoschus esculentus L.
