The present study deals with the scope of development of linseed lines for edible purposes by estimating its oil, seed and oil quality characteristics. For this study 30 lines and three testers were crossed in line x tester mating design to get high yielding crosses. Seed colour ranged between greyed orange (165A/166A) or brown group (200D) while majority of crosses in F2 belonged with brown group (200D) except few ones having greyed orange group (165A). Among the testers, Heera was found good general combiner for true density Ex-7959 for porosity and phenol content and Neelam for Iodine value, linolenic acid and linoleic acid. Parents EC-115161 and EC-115178 were good general combiner for oil in F1 generation while CRISTA for in F2 generation. Parent EC-112689 was found good general combiner for oil content in both generations. The crosses EC-104739 x Neelam, EC-110288 x Neelam, EC-112689 x Neelam, EC-115178 x Heera and Ex-339-6 x Heera in F1 and crosses EC-41750 x Heera, EC-41752 x Ex-7959, EC-1041492 x Neelam, ES-1474 x Heera and Ezox Heera in F2 generation and cross Ex-28-3 x Ex-7959 in both generations were good specific combiners for oil percentage.
