Characters of maize ear were very important yield component traits.In this paper, inheritance of 6 ear characters was analyzed applying the joint segregation analysis of a mixed genetic model of major gene plus polygene in six generations (P1, P2, F1, B1, B2, and F2 ) derived from the crosses 095譒26. The result showed that, kernel row of ear, ear weight and grain weight fit one additive major gene plus additive-dominance polygenes (D-2); Ear diameter and 1000-kernel weight fit two additive-dominance-epistasis major gene(B-1);Bald tip length fit two additive major gene plus additive-dominance polygenes (E-3).Genetic analysis of ear characters with major gene plus polygene mixed inheritance model in maize will help to elucidate the genetic mechanism of ear characters.
