Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half diallel set of crosses between six inbred lines of pearl\nmillet were executed at First of May Research station,\nSyria, during 2011 and 2012 seasons to study  the heterosis, and general and specific\ncombining ability components for silking date (day), plant  height(cm), number of leaves, number of\ntillers per plant and green and dry fodder yield (ton\/ha), to be compared with\nthe average. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design\n(RCBD), with three replications. The results showed that the variation of\ninbred lines and crosses was highly significant in the inheritance of all\nstudied traits, and the general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining abilities\nmean squares of the inbred lines, and crosses were significant for all traits,\nthis showed the contribution of additive and non-additive gene action in those\ntraits. The ratio of \u03c32<\/sup>GCA<\/sub>\/\u03c32<\/sup>SCA <\/sub>showed\nthe dominance of additive gene action in inheritance of these traits. Heterosis\nof hybrids (P1 \u00d7 P4, P1\n\u00d7 P6, P2 \u00d7 P3, P3 \u00d7 P6, P4 \u00d7 P6 and P5 \u00d7 P6) was\nsignificant compared with mid and better parents for most studied traits in\nparticular green and dry fodder yield. The lines (P6, P5, P4) also showed a positive and\nsignificant general ability for yield of green and dry forage. while the hybrids (P1 \u00d7 P2, P1 \u00d7 P3, P2 \u00d7 P6 and P4 \u00d7 P6) had the highest significant good SCA for green fodder yield (14.22**, 16.37**, 17.92**\nand 31.92**) respectively. This confirms the need to include them in the selection and breeding\nprograms of this crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
