The genetics analysis for weight of matured silkworm(WMS) and number of eggs produced per moth(NEM) was studied by the seven parents diallel. Mean squares of additive effect, dominant effect, maternal effect and reciprocal effect were significant for two characters observed. The component of genetic variance analysis for WMS and NEM showed that dominant effect was higher than additive effect. Narrow sense heritability(h2ns) estimates were 0.773 and 0.228, in the WMS and NEM. The estimate of broad sense heritability(h2bs) value was higher than that of h2ns because of the low importance of dominance effect. Incomplete dominance was shown by Vr-Wr graphic analysis in the weight of matured silkworm and overdominance in the number of eggs produced per moth. In general combining ability effect, Jam 107 and Jam 124 was showed positively high for WMS and Jam 107 and S1 was expressed positively high for NEM. In specific combining ability effect, hybrids in S1XC51, S1XJam124 and Jam 107XJam 108 were exhibited positively high for WMS and Jam 107XN63, S1XC51, N74XJam 108 and Jam 107XJam 108 were found positively high for NEM.

The quantitative inheritance of some yield characters in Gosyium spp was carried out by means of a $10\times10$ diallel cross. In this study, 45 combinations of $F_1\;and\;F_2$ generations were genetically analyzed through 10 different cultivars diallel cross population of cotton (Gosyium spp) at an experimental field. The results of Vr-Wr graph analysis of six characters such as number of boll, boll weight, lint weight per boll, 100 seeds weight, fiber fineness and fiber length in those combinations by the Hayman's method were as follow: 1. The significant difference was observed from the genetic variance of all the examined characters. 2. On based the Vr-Wr graphical analysis, $F_1$ showed a complete dominance in all the experimental characters except boll weight, lint weight per boll and fiber fineness, but the dominance degree and gene arrangement of $F_2$ were somewhat different from those of $F_1$.

Combining ability and heterosis for $F_{1}$ population obtained $5{\times}5$ half diallel cross in sesame were estimated for six quantitative characters. The parental varieties used for diallel cross were Yangbaek and Ansan of normal type, Suwon 177 and 195 of placenta adhesion type (PA) and SIG960320-5-1-1 of indehiscent type (ID). PA and ID type are shattering-resistant sesames and Yangbaek and Ansan are shattering sesames. The high heterosis of $F_{1}$ hybrids was expressed in the number of capsules per plant (NC), grain yield per plant (GY) and number of branches per plant (NB). Shattering.ate (SR) showed high positive heterosis toward increase of seeds shattering in all the combination of $F_{1}$ generation which was presumed because the characters connected with shattering resistance of seeds were governed by recessive gene. At the analysis of combining ability, highly significant general combining ability (GCA) effects were observed on all the characters in $F_{1}$ generation, significant specific combining ability (SCA) effects were observed on the NC, GY and SR. GCA variances were greater than SCA variance, which suggested that additive gene effects were greater than other nonadditive gene effects. Considering the estimated GCA effects, Suwon 195 (PA type) was found to be good parent for SR and GY, SIG960320-5-1-1 (ID type) was poor for GY and plant height. SCA effect for NC was great in Yangbaek/Suwon 195, SCA for GY was great in Ansan/SIG960320-5-1-1, and SCA for decrease of SR was great in Ansan/Suwon177.

This study was performed to obtain the basic informations for red dry pepper fruit with more pericarp weight(or in percentage) with a complete diallel cross(excluding reciprocals) using eight cultivars. Heterosis, combining ability and inheritance of the dry red fruit weight and its components(stem, placenta, seed, and pericarp) were evaluated. The results obtained were summarized as follows : Dry weight/fruit and its four antomical components were heavier in the earlier harvest fruit than in that of the later fruit. They showed 1% significance among parents and $F_1s$, and those of $F_1$ were significantly heavier than in parent. All characters in earlier fruit of parent, however, were higher than in later fruit of $F_1$. Dry weight percentage of pericarp to dry weight/fruit was highest followed by seed. Percentage of pericarp in the later fruit was increased while the seed decreased and percentages of stem and placenta were not differed between the earlier and later fruit. $F_1$ hybrids above the higher parent were observed in all characters. Mean heterosis (%) was positive in all characters while mean heterobeltiosis (%) was negative excepting seed and dry weight/fruit. GCA and SCA variances were highly significant, and GCA vaiances were greater than SCA in all characters. The directions of dominance were positive. Partial dominance was shown in stem, complete dominance in placenta, pericarp and dry weight/fruit, and over dominance in seed. The effective genes were estimated as one for stem and placenta, and two for seed, pericarp and dry weight/fruit. Heritabilities in narrow and broad sense were higher.

This experiment was carried out to analyze genetic parameters for the selection of silkworm by diallel-crossing with three Japanese and four Chiness silkworm races. Heritability, genetic correlation and path coefficient were calculated as the statistical parameters to evaluate direct or indirect effects of various gentic characters on bave weight. The heritabilities of fifth instar period, cocoon weight, cocoon layer weight, cocoon layer ration, fibroin contents, boiling off ratio and bave weight were over 76.65% in both F1 and F2 generations. There were positive coefficients in both phenotypic and genotypic correlations between male and female of both F1 and F2 generations. The latter showed greater values in general. The correlation between bave weight and the characters of cocoon weight, cocoon layer weight, cocoon layer ratio, fibroin contents were over 0.727 in both sexes of F1 and F2. Therefore, these results suggest that above characters would be useful for genetic selection of silkworms. As result of path coefficient analysis, there was a direct effect with path coefficient value of 0.991 between bave weight and F1 female cocoon layer weight, and with the value of 0.803 between bave weight and F1 male cocoon weight. In F2 the effect showed 0.938 between bave weight and male cocoon weight and cocoon layer weight had greater influence on direct or indirect effects (in path coefficient) than the others.

The experiment was conducted to get basic information for cotton breeding program through four-variety diallel cross population. Additive, dominant, maternal, and reciprocal effect were observed significantly for days to maturity. Based on the Vr-Wr graphical analysis, the characters, number of bolls per plant, boll weight, seed and lint weight per boll, lint weight per boll, width of seed, 100-seed weight, days to flowering, and days to maturity were found to inherit incomplete dominance, and the characters of number of bolls per plant, width of seed, number of seeds per boll, and length of seed were assumed to inherit over dominance. The component of genetic variance analysis for boll weight, seed and lint weight per boll, lint weight per boll, number of seeds per boll, length of seed, and days to flowering showed that additive effects were higher than dominant effects. The narrow-sense heritability(h$_2$N) for boll weight, seed and lint weight per boll, lint weight per boll, days to flowering, and days to maturity showed high values as more than 43.19%. The estimate of broad-sense heritability(h$_2$B) value was higher than that of h$_2$N because of the low importance of dominance effects.

This experiment was carried out to study the heterosis and the GCA and SCA effects for days to heading of F 1 populations produced from eight wheat cultivar diallel. Greater heterosis for early heading was exhibited under the high temperature condition than under the low temperature conditions, and same results were also observed under short day condition rather than long day conditions. There are highly significant mean for GCA and SCA at all environmental conditions. Yecora F70 was showed the greatest effect, and Bezostaya and Blueboy were exhibited less effects of CCA for early heading. Significant GCA effect was expressed at high temperature and short day condition, indicating that this condition provides a better opportunity to select the materials for earliness. Selections of combination with greater effect of SCA for early heading such as Suweon 169 \times Yecora F70 were discussed for practical utilization.

To obtain basic information on the breeding of early maturing, short plant height rapeseed varieties, the following 7 varieties, Isuzu, Miyuki, Norin 25, Rang, Yongdang, Cresus and Tower were used in diallel crosses in 1979. Maturing date, plant height and grain weight per plant for the parents, $F_1$'s and $F_2$'s of the 7 x 7 partial diallel crosses were measured in 1981 for analysis of their genetic behavior. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The days to maturing of $F_1$'s showed complete dominance for early maturing, and both additive and dominance genetic variances were significant. Number of effective factors in $F_1$'s was 3, but in $F_2$'s was 1. The degree of dominance in $F_1$'s was partial, while in $F_2$'s was complete. Both broad and narrow sense herita-bilities in $F_1$'s was high, while in $F_2$'s was low. 2. Yield per plant in $F_2$'s was controlled by additive component of genetic variance only, but $F_1$'s was different. The degree of dominance in $F_1$'s was complete, while in $F_2$'s was partial. The direction of dominance showed almost complete dominance over high yield and three effective factors was estimated. Yield per plant was controlled by recessive genes. 3. The plant height was controlled by both dominance and additive variance. Dominance was directed toward tall plant height. Number of effective factors was 2, and broad and narrow sense heritability were high in the plant height.

This experiment was conducted to identify the superior corn hybrids for silage production and to determine the combining ability of their parental inbred lines. A 7-entry diallel cross was evaluated for grain and stover yields, and agronomic characters under 3 different seasons. Hybrids Hi34 x Tx601, Hi26 x Hi34, and Hi29 x Hi34 showed high total dry matter yields. In general, late maturing hybrids had higher grain and silage yields than early maturing hybrids. Leaf area index was correlated with grain and stover yields. Rust rating was negatively correlated with yields and all characters, indicating that rust (Puccinia sorghi) was one of the major factors affecting yields. Diallel analysis showed that inbred Hi34 which was late in maturity and resistant to rust was the best combiner for both grain and silage yields. General combining ability (GCA) and specific com-bining ability (SCA) effects for yields and other characters were significant, suggesting that both additive and non-additive gene effects are involved for those characters. Ratio of GCA/SCA mean squares showed that GCA effects were more important than SCA effects for yields and other characters. GCA x season and SCA x season interactions were significant for grain and stover yields, revealing that gene effects were not stable for those yields under dissimilar environments.
