Significant yield increase as a result of accumulation of favourable alleles was determined in Yugoslav synthetic populations and their test crosses. Incorporation of exotic germplasm significantly positively affected the level of these changes, especially for moisture content and stability of maize plant. A high combining ability in both synthesized germplasm with world-known testers (Lancaster and SSS) points to the fact that this breeding material has kept its divergence. Obtained results point out that new maize germplasm resources are convenient for improved hybrid combinations development by the choice of the appropriate selection procedure.
