Resumo: 	The obtention of genetically improved cultivars is the main objective of breeding programs, whose efficiency is increased by a careful choice of parents. Based on both general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining abilities for grain yield, the purpose of this research was to choose the most promising populations of common beans, for line selection. GCA and SCA were measured by means of a complete diallel without reciprocals, using twelve cultivars/lines. Parents and corresponding F2 segregating populations were evaluated for grain yield by a 9 x 9 triple square lattice design. It was found that the segregating populations differed in grain yield, with predominant SCA effects, but with significant GCA effects as well. Among the populations derived from parents with positive GCA values, Aporé x CI-128, CI-128 x Pérola, PF-9029975 x Ouro Negro, and CI-128 x Ouro Negro also showed positive SCA values and high grain yields, therefore being the most promising populations for grain yield improvement. The highest values of specific combining ability were observed in populations H-4-7 x ESAL 693, CI-128 x Pérola, and A-285 Rudá x IAC Carioca Aruã, which must be the most segregating ones. Hybrid combinations with a high SCA deriving from at least one parent with high GCA were: Pérola x CI-128 and Ouro Negro x Pérola. Although line ESAL 693 presented the lowest GCA value, one of its derived populations, ESAL 693 x H-4-7, had the highest SCA and heterosis values. The high correlation between heterosis and SCA indicates that heterosis can be useful when SCA is not available.
