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

The study was carried out at Corn Research\nDepartment, General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research (GCSAR),\nDamascus, Syria, during 2011 and 2012 seasons, to estimate the correlation, and path coefficients of some\nphenological, morphological and yield components traits\ni.e. days to silking (days),  ear height\n(cm),  ear length (cm), ear diameter(cm), number of rows per ear, number of grains per row,\n100-kernels weight (g)  and grain yield\nper  plot (ton\/ha). In this study, SH\nmaize families were used, which were improved by half sib and full-sib selection by the National Program in Syria. The experiment was\nconducted using randomized completely block design (RCBD with three\nreplications. The results showed a significant positive correlation between\ngrain yield, and all the studied  traits\nand the correlations in both selection methods of the traits were: r2<\/sup>=r (r2<\/sup>=<\/sub>0.82*\u060c0.76*) for days to silking, while the correlation values\nfor ear height, ear length and ear diameter were (r2<\/sup>=<\/sub>0.85*, and 0.79*) , (r2<\/sup>=<\/sub>0.67**, and 0.63**), (r2<\/sup>=<\/sub>0.86*, and 0.79*)  respectively,\nbut for number of grains per row it reached (0.73**, 0.68**) and for number of rows per\near it attained (r2<\/sup>=<\/sub>0.88*, and 0.82*), finally for 100 grain weight it reached (r2<\/sup>=<\/sub>0.85*, and 0.80*). According to that, those traits were considered selection\ncriteria to improve grain yields in maize. The study of path analysis\nrevealed that each of ear height, 100 grain weight and number of rows per ear\nwere the most studied traits that contributed to grain yield, which gave the\nhighest values of direct effects on yield status and the percentage of\ncontribution to the total traits studied by the two selection methods were\n(89.08.77.11) % and thus they could be used as a selection criterion\nfor improving grain yield of maize crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
