Abstract:Estimates of genetic variance components(V_A,V_D,and V_G),heritabilities(h_B~2and h_N~2)and expected genetic gains under selection(ΔG and ΔG%)were obtainedfor percent oil,percent protein,percent lysine,100-kernel-weight,and several otheragronomic traits in the high oil maize F_2 population of IHO(
