Half diallel set of crosses between six inbred lines of maize were executed at Maize Research Department, General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research (GCSAR), Syria, during 2010 and 2011 seasons to study heterosis, general and specific combining ability components for grain yield (ton/ha), ear height, length and diameter (cm), and silking date (day) compared with control varieties Basel-1 and the hybrid Spirou S-4- 985 to identify the best hybrid in terms of yield. Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) was used with three replicates.

The research was conducted at the Maize Researches Department, General Commission for Scientific Agriculture Researches (G.C.S.A.R.) Damascus, Syria during the summer growing seasons of 2010, 2011 and 2012. Treatments were arranged in a Randomized Complete Blocks Design with three replications. The research aimed to evaluate genetic parameters for some traits like days to 50% silking, plant and ear height, ear length, ear diameter, number of rows per ear, number of kernels per row, 100 kernel weight and grain yield per plant using generations means analysis of two maize hybrids (IL.292-06 × IL.565-06, IL.459-06 × IL.362-06) to detect epistasis and estimates of mean effect [m], additive [d], dominance [h], additive × additive [i], additive × dominance [j] and dominance × dominance [l] parameters. Results showed that the additive - dominance model was adequate to demonstrate the genetic variation and its importance in the inheritance of most studied traits. Nonallelic gene interaction was operating in the control of genetic variation in most studied traits. The signs of [h] and [l] were opposite in most studied traits for the two crosses. Also, the inheritance of all studied traits was controlled by additive and non-additive genetic effects, but dominance gene effects play the major role in controlling the genetic variation of the most studied traits, suggesting that the improvement of those characters need intensive selection through later generations. The phenotypic variations were greater than genotypic variations for all studied traits in the two crosses, indicating greater influence of environment in the expression of these traits. Highly significant heterosis relative to mid and better parents, respectively was found for all characters, and this accompanied with inbreeding depression for all traits. Narrow sense heritability and genetic advance were low in most of the traits due to the dominance of non-additive gene action in controlling the genetic variation of the most studied traits and this predict low to medium values of genetic advance through selection process.
A half diallel set of crosses among six inbred lines of maize were evaluated at the Maize Research Department (G.C.S.A.R.) in Damascus Governorate during 2010 and 2011 growing seasons to estimate heterosis and combining ability components for the n umber of rows per ear, number of kernels per ear, ear length (cm), ear diameter(cm), 100-kernel weight (g), and grain yield (ton /hec). The inbred lines, crosses, general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) mean squares were highly significant for all the studied traits, showing the existence of a genetic variance among lines. The ratios of GCA to SCA detected for the studied traits showed the dominance of an additive gene action for all the studied traits except for 100-kernel weight and grain yield which showed the predominance of a non-additive gene action. The heterosis percentage for the studied traits was significant based on mid and better parents. The GCA effects showed that the lines CML.317, CML.371, CML.373 and CML.367 were good general combiners for grain yield, while the SCA effects showed that seven hybrids were the best F1 cross combinations such as (CML.317×CML.371) for grain yield.

This research aimed to evaluate the general and specific combining ability components for six inbred lines and 15 hybrids produced by a half diallel cross method, and was conducted during 2010-2011 seasons, in the Department of the Maize Researches at G.C.S.A.R. Damascus . The evaluation included the grain yield, ear height, ear length, and silking under two different treatments of nitrogen fertilizer (1- addition of 50% of N-fertilizer with sowing and the other 50% one month after sowing. 2- addition of 50% of N-fertilizer 18 days after sowing and 50% one month after sowing).and 3 replicates. Results indicated that: Mean squares of inbred lines, and hybrids were highly significant for all studied traits under two adding dates of nitrogen fertilizer, which indicated the presence of genetic distance among parental lines. The ratios ( 2 GCA/ 2 SCA) showed that additive gene effect was more important than non-additive gene effect in controlling all studied traits except grain yield which showed dominance of non-additive gene effect under tow dates. Many of significant positive GCA effects were obtained for all traits, therefore, it could be concluded, that the inbred lines CML.330, IL.26-09 and CML.334 seemed to be the best general combiners for grain yield. The hybrid (CML.368 × IL.215-09) had showed the best specific combining ability effects for grain yield under the first date, while the hybrid (CML.330 × IL.26-09) showed the best SCA effects under the second date. The second adding date of nitrogen fertilizer (50% 18 days after sowing and 50% one month after sowing) had surpassed of the first date (50% with sowing and 50% one month after) with significant effects for grain yield trait.
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).
