Data on yield and five other traits from a 6 X 6 diallel, grown at two localities, were analysed. Results showed that percentage protein content was negatively correlated with 1000-grain weight, grain plumpness and yield/plant, while protein/grain was positively correlated with these traits. Lysine content of protein was negatively correlated with all traits. Reciprocal differences forprotein/grain were found in some crosses. Additive gene effects predominated, but some dominance for high protein/grain was detected. Nonallelic interaction was apparent for percentage protein and protein/grain in one cross each. Additive genetic variation is
