Abstract: The kernel quality of 425 maize inbreds and 1 125 cross combinations were analyzed in this paper by using near infrared spectroscopy transmission(NIT) analyzer made by FOSS Company.The heterosis of roughfat(oil), protein and rough starch and the relativity between hybrids and their parents were also discussed.The study showed that the variance range and the variance indexes of roughfat and protein contentwere large, and those of roughstarchwere minor. The average content was 4.24%, 12. 17% and 71. 10% respectively for the roughfat, protein and roughstarch in inbreds, and 4. 86%, 9.93% and 72. 56% respectively in cross combinations.The relativity of the three components be tween hybrids and their parents was minor.The midadvantage and superadvantage were positive for roughfat, and nega tive for protein.The cross advantage variance range was larger for roughstarch, and the average value was minor. NIT is a new method for quality analyzer in crop breeding.
