Abstract
Crosses between six sunflower (Helianthus annuus) lnbred lines were produced utilizing a partial diallel experimental design. After three years of testing, it was found that the highest general combining ability (GCA) for seed weight per plant was produced by lines 3230 and 30O4. For oil content, the highest GCA was shown by lines 3230 and 3o64. The environmental conditions influenced to a great degree the evaluations of specific combining ability (scA), while general combining ability was determined to be more stable. The nonadditive gene effects for the seed weight per plant and oil content are more unstable in variable environments in comparison with the additive gene effects.
