Abstract

The results of diallel cross between 10 inbred lines showed that additive genes played predominant role in the control of days to flowering, plant height, head length, and downy mildew resistance. Early plant rigour and grain yield were mostly controlled by nonadditive gene effects. Inbred lines with high gca have been identified
