​Combining Ability and Heterosis Analysis for Seed Yield and Yield Related Traits in Table Pea [Pisum sativum (L.) var. hortense]

Background: A study was carried out to estimate the general and specific combining abilities, as well heterosis for seed yield associated traits in pea lines. Methods: Twenty-eight cross combinations were generated using half-diallel mating design with eight parental The mean values of its contributing lines their offspring each replication used statistical analysis viz., GCA, SCA Heterosis. Result: GCA significant indicating presence both additive non-additive types gene actions. AP-3, VL-7, Kashi_Nandini PC-531 identified promising parents due effects on other traits. Among crosses x PC-531, VL-7 PMR-53, Arkel Vl-7 Kashi_uday hybrids most promising, significantly higher related Seed showed high ranged from -2.00% 8.77 % (AP-3 respectively) relative -0.75% 14.10% (Kashi_uday PMR-53 exhibited positive over better parent mid-parent.
