Abstract

Genetic variability in flowering time, plant height, number of tillers/m, number of grains/cm2, number of leaves/plant and ear length was released in F2 progenies derived by North Carolina Design 1 biparental mating. Genetic variance was chiefly due to an additive component in one population (B), but to overdominance in a second, related, population (A). Higher heritability estimates were obtained for population B. Such estimates obtained from biparental progenies may be more realistic than those obtained from a corresponding selfed generation
