Combining ability analysis of 14 salinity tolerant restorer lines was undertaken for grain yield and yield components in rice. Non-additive gene action was noticed to be pre-ponderent for grain yield per plant and majority of the yield traits studied. A perusal of gca effects revealed MTU 1153, MCM 225, MTU 1156, MCM 48, IR 64 and MTU 1210 were noticed to be good combiners for grain yield per plant, indicating their suitability in breeding programmes for development of high yielding salinity tolerance hybrids. Among the hybrids 13 crosses had exhibited significant and desirable sca effects for grain yield per plant and are identified as potential salinity tolerant hybrids for commercial exploitation.
