Eight genotypes were selected on the basis of performance of diversity for important characters to raise sixteen cross combinations in 4 × 4, line × tester mating design. The ANOVA shows significant difference among all the parents and hybrids. Line × tester genetic components were not found to be significant for plant height, fruit width and number of seeds/fruit. The control of plant morphological characters like plant height, width and others like day to 50% flower, fruit length and number of seeds/fruit were found to be effected by additive gene action, vitamin C content and fruit pedicel length were governed by non additive gene action and fruit yield/plant, 1000 seed weight, fruit weight and number of fruits/plant were evident to be controlled by both additive and non – additive gene action. BCC24 recorded highest and positive GCA effects for maximum characters. | 2019 8 3 2436-2442 EXCELLENT PUBLISHERS International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 03 2019 Journal homepage http Original Research Article https Line X Tester Analysis of Combining Ability in Chilli 2 2 11 Subrata Sarkar Soumya Sarathi Kiindii Subrata Chatterjee and Dhiren Chettri 1 Department of Agricultural la Homology .

Introduction Chilli Capsicum annuum L. is most widely cultivated for its pungent hot pepper and non pungent sweet pepper fruits throughout the world Bosland and Votava 2000 . Chillies are grown as annual crop although it can also be grown as perennial shrub in suitable climatic conditions. The genus Capsicum consists of a different range of plants and fruits and varies a lot
