Abstract
Data on general and specific combining ability from a 14 X 14 diallel without reciprocals, involving eleven early, dwarf American lines and three late, tall African lines, revealed that additive gene effects were important for number of days to flowering and plant height while nonadditive gene effects were important for ear and grain weight. Heterosis for grain yield was highest in the American X African cross IS3797 X IS8622 (68.6%), followed by the American X American cross IS84 X IS511 (47.7%). [See also PBA 48, 3349]
