Abstract: The experiment was under taken to asses breeding behavior of eight parental lines for important biochemical traits of brinjal like, total soluble solids content, vitamin C content and total phenol content in edible fruits. IBWL-1 x PRLP-1, PS x PB-101 and PB-6 x PB-101 cross combinations were identified as positive significant for T.S.S. While PLP-1 x PB-101, PR x PB-101 and PPR x IBWL-1 were yielded with significantly high vitamin C. Significant negative and desirable heterosis for total phenol content reported in PPR x IBWL-1, PS x PR and PS x PLP-1 cross combinations. Parental lines PS, PB-101 and S.g were identified as best general combiners for traits like total soluble solids content, vitamin C and low total phenol content respectively. Specific combining ability studies revealed specific cross combinations for these traits viz., PS x PB-101 for T.S.S, PLP-1 x PB-101 for vitamin C and PPR x IBWL-1 for low total phenol content.
