This research was conducted at the Department of Maize in the General Commission of Science Agriculture Research (GCSAR) Damascus, Syria. The genetic material included parental inbred lines and the first and second (F1, F2) generations of two hybrids of maize to estimate the heterosis, degree of dominance and the inbreeding depression under two treatments of irrigation. Results showed that mean squares of inbred lines P1, P2 and the first generation were non significant for all studied traits, while the variance of the second generation F2 was highly significant under the stress and non stress treatments, The hybrid (IL.275–6×IL.362–6) showed the highest average of yield under stress and non stress treatment, a Positive heterosis effect relative to mid parents and the better parent was recorded for ear height, ear diameter, 100 kernels weight and yield per plant, The degree of dominance showed that the branches per tassel was controlled by partial dominance on the other hand the ear diameter and yield per plant showed the greatest values of inbreeding depression, Results revealed the effective selection among the F2 individuals of the studied hybrids specially the hybrid (IL.275–6× IL.362–6) through the late generations (S5, S6) to get new inbred lines of maize which had dominance desirable alleles to improve yield and it's components especially under water stress conditions.

This study was carried out during 2010-2011 growing seasons at the Maize Researches Department (G.C.S.A.R.) Damascus. To estimate heterosis for number of rows per ear, ear length, ear diameter, 100- kernel weight, and grain yield.
This study was conducted at the of field research station Sianow belong to the General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research at Lattakia, to evaluate the susceptibility of maize hybrids produced by using half Diallel the cross according to the design ofrandomized completeblocks (R.C.B.D), under industrial infection by large corn stem borer Sesamia cretica. Hybrids were compared with the control (Ghouta- 82). The hybrid (P1 × P2) Showed positive and highly significantheterosis for Ear diameter and tolerance forlarge corn stem borer compared with the average of the parents and the best parents and the check (Ghouta- 82). The hybrid (P2 × P6) showed positive and highly significant heterosis for the number of kernels per row compared with the average of the parents and the best parents and the check (Ghouta- 82). Also the hybrid (P1 × P6) showed positive and highly significant heterosis for the number of kernels per row relative to the average of the parents and the best parents and the check (Ghouta- 82). hybrid (P4 × P6) showed positive and highly significant heterosis for the recipe grain yield compared with the average of the parents and the best parents and the check (Ghouta- 82). The hybrid(P5 × P6) also showed positive and highly significant heterosis for the Percentage of dead hearts of the developing summit compared with the average of the parents and the best parents, and compared with the check (Ghouta- 82), therefore it can be considered as a sensitive hybrid.
Six population seeds of three yellow maize hybrids were formed at Agricultural Research Center, Homs, during 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. Their plants were evaluated in 2010. The present work aims to determine the genetic parameters in six populati ons (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1, and BC2). Mean square results showed significant differences among mean values for all traits in all crosses. Significant heterosis values were positive and relative comparing to mid and better parent for most traits. The potence ratios exceeded (+1) in all traits and crosses except ear height, indicating thus over-dominance. In breeding, depression values were significant in most traits for Cross-1, while their values were non- significant in all traits for Cross-2 except plant height, and also in Cross-3 except plant height and grain yield per plant. In most traits epestasis or dominance gene action occupied the first rank in the genetic effects in order of importance to cross, with the exception of number of rows per ear, number of kernels per row and grain yield per plant where additive gene action occupied the first rank for Cross-2 and Cross-1 respectively. Therefore, it could be suggested that selection for most studied traits in the subsequent generations will be relatively more effective than in the early generations.
This research was conducted at the Maize Research Department (Kharaboo) of General Commission of Science Agriculture Research (GCSAR), Damascus, Syria, during the growing seasons of 2009, 2010 ad, 2011 to study the genetic behavior of days to 50% silking, plant height, ear length, 100 grains weight and yield per plant by using generation mean analysis (GMA) of two individual hybrids of maize, to estimate the heritability, Phenotypic (PCV), and genotypic (GCV) coefficient variations and the genetic advance.
