[Inheritance of certain quantitative and qualitative traits in a system of diallele barley crosses]

Unequal inheritance of characters, i.e. flower glume colour, degree of lateral spikelets development, hairy rechis of the ear, were observed in diallel crosses among the varieties Nutans 244, Trumpf, DZ-02389, Hiproly and Brachitic. Recessive inheritance was marked for short rachilla hairs. The dominant effect of genes for the leaf length and overdominance for the plant height were ascertained. The partial dominance for the number of internodes and leaf width was found. The character of the upper internode length did not correspond to additive-dominant model.
