Abstract
Additive, dominance and dominance X dominance gene effects were significant in the inheritance of most of the 15 characters studied in two crosses (444 X 728 and 200 X 424). Complementary and duplicate epistasis were observed in the expression of characters. Heritability estimates in the broad sense were high in both crosses for the number of ear-bearing tillers, tiller number, plant height and the number of days to flowering, and estimates of genetic advance as a percentage of the mean were high for numbers of tillers, ear-bearing tillers, branches, and of spike-bearing branches. The results indicated that high-yielding fodder varieties can be developed from both crosses and high-yielding grain varieties from one (200 X 424)
