✦ Synopsis

Analysis of a 10-parent diallel of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) grown at two diverse locations revealed that for enzyme lipoxidase activity, wheat and predicted macaroni pigment contents, heterosis was environmentally dependent. Both additive and dominance genetic effects were significant for each of these quality traits studied, but in one location, the additive genetic effect was consistently more pronounced than the dominance genetic effect, while the reverse was the case in the other location. There was no evidence of epistatic gene effect for any of the three characters in either location.
