The aim of this paper was to investigate maize inbred lines and their hybrids for the genetic variability and mode of inheritance of plant height, cob weight and grain yield. Twelve inbred lines (eight domestic and four US ones) were used to analyze genetic variability and mode of inheritance. Statistical date analysis showed that there was genetic variability among the inbred lines for each of the traits analyzed. The results of the study comfirmed that superdominance is the mode of inheritance of all three traits studied.
