Most sorghum cultivars and hybrids grown presently show low quality protein, associated with deficiencies in limiting amino acids such as lysine. A randomized complete block experiment including four sorghum parents and six F1 hybrids obtained from a diallel mating system was thus conducted on a silt loamy soil in Lincoln University in 1990 to study the genetic variation in some sorghum parents and their F1 hybrids, and the General Combining Ability (GCA) and Specific Combining Ability (SCA) effects. The results showed limited genetic variation for the characters, indicating that selection should be expected in the segregates. Heterosis was important for yield and to some extent for lysine content in two F1 hybrids which can be useful for f...
