Abstract The present investigation was carried on a 8 parent diallel of mungbean involving 28 F1's and 28 F2's excluding reciprocals grown at three different locations including Meerut, Ludhiana and Hissar. Three different analyses including combining ability, graphical and component analysis were utilized. From the combining ability analysis over different environments it was reported that g.c.a. effects are relatively more consistent over environments than s.c.a. effects. The parents P3 and P5 were ranked as the best general combiners and the cross P5 × P7 was the good specific combination in both the diallel sets. The graphical analysis suggested that high protein content is governed by dominant genes. Further all the analyses revealed that non-additive variance was mostly responsible for this character. Thus two methods, including biparental mating system among the selected F2/F3 plants from P5×P7 cross; and modified diallel selective mating system for the selected parents with good or average general combining ability were suggested. From these populations the desirable combinations with high protein content and other desirable attributes, be selected which can constitute a future variety.
