Abstract
Yield is the most important and complex trait. Many other traits influence yield and they do not always play an essential role in a breeding process. The recognition of dependencies between traits and between parents and descendants can greatly improve selection and choosing of proper lines for crossing. The main aim of this study was to show the relationships between yield and yield structure traits in 28 F1 hybrids and 8 parental lines of maize. Data were recorded for the following parameters: plant height, ear height, ear length and diameter, number of grain rows, grain yield per ear, tillering, proportion of smutty plants, percent age of grain in ear, dry matter content and grain yield. To examine the dependencies between yield and other traits correlation and regression analyses were performed. The yield of hybrids was determined by grain yield from one ear and plant height.
