Abstract: In this study 7 inbred lines were used in diallel crosses.Genetic analysis were conducted for the kernel protein content of corn by using a new genetic model for quantitative characters of seeds in cereal crops.The results showed that the protein content was controlled by both seed direct genetic effects and maternal genetic effects. Seed direct dominant effect and maternal dominant effect were highly significant and significant respectively.Predicted genetic effects indicated that 3360 was better than any other parents for increasing the kernel protein content of a combination.

Key words: Maize, Protein, Seed and maternal, Genetic effects
