It can be stated that popping volume is influenced both by additive and non-additive gene effects. The additive component (D), as well as dominant components (H1 and H2) significantly affected the inheritance of popping volume in popcorn. The number of dominant alleles in the expression of popping volume was higher than the number of recessive alleles in parents involved in the diallele cross. This is understandable considering that the inbred lines had been highly selected for popping volume. In this investigation superdominance was manifested in the inheritance of popping volume. The highest popping volume was obtained after crossing an inbred line having the lowest popping volume with an inbred line having a high popping volume.
