The present investigation was conducted during 2010/2011 and 2011/2012
growing seasons at Karahta station for field crops research, General
Commission for Scientific Agricultural Researches (G.C.S.A.R.), Syria. Forty
five hybrids F1 produced using
a half diallel cross among ten bread wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes, in 2010/2011 season, were evaluated during
2011/2012 season in order to study som of the genetic parameters for grain
yield per plant, its components, some morphophysiological and quality traits to
determine the basic criteria for selection.
The experiment was carried out at two planting dates in a Randomized
Complete Blocks Design with three replications at Maize Research Department,
General Commission for Scientific Agriculture Researches (G.C.S.A.R.)
Damascus, Syria, during two cro
pping season 2011 and 2012 to study the
phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation, heritability, genetic advance,
phenotypic correlation and path coefficient analysis for grain yield per plant,
its components and the height of plant and ear of two maize hybrids (IL.292-06
× IL.565-06, IL.459-06 × IL.362-06).
