The aim of this paper was to investigate the genetic variability and the mode of inheritance between inbred lines and their hybrids, for three very important traits, kernel length, kernel width and grain yield. Six inbred lines are domestic germplasm made at Institute for Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad, Serbia, and two are from USA. Statistical data analysis shows genetic variability between inbred lines for every analyzed trait. Superdomination was mode of inheritance for kernel length and grain yield, found in every observed combination. Obtained results confirmed superdomination, domination, parcial domination and intermediate as mode of inheritance for kernel width. Between kernel length and grain yield it is found high correlation. Kernel width was in great correlation with kernel length and grain yield.
