Hladni N., D. Škorić, and M. Kraljević-Balalić (2003): Genetic variance of sunflower yield components (Heliantus annuus L.) – Genetika, Vol. 35, No. 1, 1-9.
The main goals of sunflower breeding in Yugoslavia and abroad are increased seed yield and oil content per unit area and increased resistance to diseases, insects and stress conditions via an optimization of plant architecture. In order to determine the mode of inheritance, gene effects and correlations of total leaf number per plant, total leaf area and plant height, six genetically divergent inbred lines of sunflower were subjected to half diallel crosses. Significant differences in mean values of all the traits were found in the F1 and F2 generations. Additive gene effects were more important in the inheritance of total leaf number per plant and plant height, while in the case of total leaf area per plant the nonadditive ones were more important looking at all the combinations in the F1 and F2 generations. The average degree of dominance (H1/D)1/2 was lower than one for total leaf number per plant and plant height, so the mode of inheritance was partial dominace, while with total leaf area the value was higher than one, indicating superdominance as the mode of inheritance. Significant positive correlation was found between total leaf area per plant and total leaf number per plant (0.285*) and plant height (0.278*). The results of the study are of importance for further sunflower breeding work.

Ivanovska S., M. Kraljević – Balalić, and C. Stojkovski (2003): Diallel analysis for plant height in winter wheat. – Genetika, Vol. 35, No. 1, 11-19.
The mode of inheritance and gene effect for plant height of 7x7 half diallel crosses of wheat varieties and lines was evaluated in F1 and F2 generation. The mode of inheritance, calculated for each combination separately, was different and depended on the cross combination. The absence of interallelic interaction between the genes determining the expression of plant height was concluded from the regression analysis. The regression line intercepts the Wr axis below the origin in F1 indicating overdominance over an average of all arrays. In F2 the regression line cuts the Wr axis above the origin indicating partial dominance.
Key words: diallel, plant height, winter wheat

A diallel cross (including reciprocals), involving seven open-pollinated varieties having different head shape was made and 42 F1 hybrids were produced under greenhouse conditions and in the experimental field of Scientific Institute of field and vegetable crops in Novi Sad. The objective of this paper was to determine mean value, components of variability and mode of inheritance of two morphological characters of head shape, head width and head height. In our study superdominance occurred the most with head height ( as many as 23 times) and the least with head width (16 times). The negative heterosis was not occurred in any combination as like as partial dominance of the poorer parent. The results showed significant divergence of the traits under study, which will also constitute an important source of variability for future cycles of selection in our Institute.

In order to research the inheritance, gene effect,
combination abilities and genetic variance components, we investigated six
divergent snap bean genotypes (Supernor, Darija, Grinkrop, Palanačka rana,
Šumadinka and Zora) and their F1 progeny created by diallel crossing
without reciprocals. For the trait of height of forming the first pod, variance
of average value of parents and hybrids was highly significant. The value of
dominant components (H1 and H2) was higher than additive
component (D), meaning that dominant genes control the inheritance of number of
pods per plant. The average level of domination 
is higher than
1, pointing to superdomination. Heritability in broader sence amounts 90%
pointing to high contribution in inheriting the number of pods per plant.
Key words: snap bean, combinating ability, first pod height

Abstract
Saleh A. and M. Pagés (2003): Plant AP2/ERF transcription factors. – Genetika, Vol. 35, No. 1, 37-50.
Transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in plant development and its response to the biotic and abiotic stresses. AP2/ERF transcription factors family is unique to plants and a conserved AP2/ERF domain of about 60 amino acids characterized these transcription factors. AP2/ERF genes have been shown to regulate developmental processes and the response of plants to various types of biotic and environmental stress. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of AP2/ERF plant transcription factor family.

Variability refers to a process by which differences occur among individuals of the same plant species. However, some characteristics change very little, while others, especially quantative ones, change rather quickly and readily, even when environmental conditions change sligthly. This fact has prompted an investigation aimed to establish the variability of pomological characteristics of the Šumatovka cv. apple tree, a rather old and autochthonous cultivar grown widely throughout Eastern Serbia. Its special characteristic is an ability to grow and bear fruit without any particular care and cultivation, and in conditions of especially severe water deficiency and drought. Šumatovka cv. fruits are small- or medium-sized on the average, the length measuring 51.3 ± 6.62 mm (CV 12.9%), width 55.5 ± 6.35 mm (CV 11.4%), pedicel lenght 19.5 ± 3.2 mm (CV 16.4%) and fruit mass 66.0 ± 20.6 g (CV 31.3%). Total soluble dry matter content of the mesocarp varies between 15.6 and 1.92% (CV 12.31%), total sugars 14.3 ± 4.7% (CV 32.8%) and total sour substances 0.95 ± 0.11% (CV 18.6%). Especially examined were the large-sized Šumatovka fruits measuring 72.0 mm in lenght and width, and 169.4 g in mass.

Abstract
Atlagić J., J. Joksimović, Z. Sakač, V. Miklič, and N. Dušanić (2003): Mode of inheritance and heritability of disc flower corolla length and nectar content in sunflower. – Genetika, Vol. 35, No. 1, 59-65.
Since disc flower corolla length and nectar content are the two most important parameters of attractiveness to pollinators in sunflower and we monitored them in the parental lines F1 hybrids, we thought it would be interesting to determine the mode of inheritance and heritability of these two traits. The mean values of disc flower corolla length ranged between 7.23-10.22 mm. Differences among most of the genotypes were significant. Year had significant influence on the expression of this trait. In the inheritance of the corolla length, partial dominance of the parent with the smaller corolla length (NS-H-702) was observed when determining mode of inheritance relative to the parents. Relative to the parental average, however, it was not possible to determine the mode of inheritance in any of the hybrid combinations. The nectar content means ranged from 2.08 to 15.54 mg/20 flowers and differences among most of the genotypes were significant. Partial dominance of the parent with the smaller nectar content mean was recorded in the inheritance of this trait (NS-H-702). Negative heterosis was found in the hybrid NS-H-45.
Key words: sunflower, disc flower corolla length, nectar content, inheritance
