Popis:	Knowledge of combining ability and mode of inheritance is important in devising strategies to breed compatible and high yielding plant varieties. This study determined combining ability and understood the mode of inheritance of sexual compatibility in Cola nitida, a crop in which incompatibility was reported. 10 × 10 complete diallel mating design was used to cross ten (10) elite clones of kola. Data collected included percentage pod set and nut traits of the various crosses. Percentage pod set differed significantly among crosses (p 80% pod set) as compared to crosses between red and pink colour nut genotypes. Both additive and non-additive gene effects were significant (p
