Analysis of variance results showed significant differences among inbred lines for some of measured traits in both salt and non-salt conditions. Significant differences observed for line × tester mean-squares in non-salty condition for all measured traits except days to silking and physiological maturity. In salt stress condition, just for leaves number per plant and days to silking, line × tester effects were not significant. Additive variance for days to silking and physiological maturity in non-salt condition was more than dominant variance, therefore the additive to non-additive variance ratio was more than 1 and indicating emphasis on this matter too. Inbred line L6 had a significant positive GCA and the highest grain yield with 1455.785 and 789.107 kg/ha in non-salt and salt stress condition, respectively. The crosses (L4×T1=428.460 and L7×T1= 438,345) in non-salt condition and (L3×T1=438.345) in salt stress conditions had a positive significant specific combining ability. Finally, from all existed variation, the lines and line × tester effects were more important than tester effects that indicates transmission of diversity from lines to hybrids.
