Five parents of eggplant were crossed in a diallel cross and evaluated in 2008 to study genetic components for some eggplant traits; i.e., plant height, branch number /plant, early fruit number, fruit weight / fruit in early yield, early yield / plant, total fruit number, fruit weight / fruit in total yield and total yield / plant.The results reflected insignificant t 2 for all the studied traits, except early yield/plant which t 2 was significant. By inspection, t 2 was found insignificant after removing P 4 . For all the studied traits, the estimates of D, H 1 and H 2 were significant for all these traits.Asymmetrical gene distribution was observed, except total yield which had symmetrical gene distribution (0.25). For total yield, complete dominance was found to control this trait, and the dominance is isodirectional.
