Abstract
The experimental material consisted of 21 F2 hybrids obtained from a diallel cross of seven lines derived from the following winter wheat cultivars: Oregon, Jawa, CWW-3547/56, Longbow, Regina, Hana, Norman. Analyses of combining ability were performed according to the Griffing method 2, model I. Fast all investigated features were determined by the additive gene action, only plant height was determined by the additive and nonadditive gene action. The lines Longbow and Oregon were the best parents.
