Combining ability analysis was carried out in a 7x7 diallel cross of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) for seed yield and some of its components and some quality traits of seed. Both additive and non-additive gene effects were important in the inheritance of most of the traits. Variety Punjab Padmini was the best general combiner for seed weight/plant and most of its components, while variety BO-1 was the best combiner for protein content and variety Pusa Sel. 1, for both oil and sugar content.
