Abstract
A set of diallel crosses which included six inbred lines from a gene pool of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad was analyzed for components of genetic variability (D, H1, H2, F, h²) of leaf length andwidth. The dominant component (H1) was highlysignificant for both traits, the additive one (D) was not. The dominant and recessive genes that controlled the two trâits were not uniformly distributed in the parent lines. Superdominance was registered for both traits. Leaf width was controlled by at least four genes, leaf length by at least three. High values of thewide-sense heritability (h²b) and low values of the natrow-sense heritability (h²n) were found for borh traits.
Keywords: Sunflower, leaf length, leaf width, diallel, component of geneticvariability, heritability
