Favorable epistatic gene complexes may be important for hybrid performance of maize (Zea mays L.). This study was conducted to assess the importance of epistasis in per se and testcross performance for grain yield and grain moisture in four crosses among four elite European flint maize lines by generation means analyses as well as genome-wide tests for significant digenic epistatic effects between marker loci. For each cross, six generations (P1, P2, [F.sub.1], [F.sub.2], BC1, BC2) and testcrosses of these generations plus the [F.sub.2]-Syn1, [F.sub.2]-Syn2, and Fz-Syn3 generations in ...
