Abstract
Five traits: culm length, ear length, grain number and weight per ear as well as 1000 grain weight for parents and 15 hybrids in F1, F2 and F3 generations were analyzed, in experiments carried out using the method of randomized blocks. The hybrids were obtained by crosses performed according to a factorial mating design of three females (cvs. Pinokio, Tewo, Presto) and five males (cvs. LAD 794, Marko, Prado, MAH 2296, Tornado). The magnitude of general and specific combining ability variances indicates that both additive and nonadditive gene effects play a role in the inheritance of the traits under study. For most traits the general combining ability was higher than the specific combining ability. The highest coefficients of a narrow sense heritability were obtained in F1 for 1000 grain weight and in F2 for grain number per ear. Coefficients of narrow-sense heritability in almost all cases were lower than the broad sense ones, which indicates that in determining these traits a considerable role is played by nonadditive gene effects.
