【Objective】 In order to clarify the effects of oat orthogonal and reverse cross on heterosis and pheno- typic differences of hybrid offspring.【Method】 In this study,Longyan No. 4 and Longyan No. 5 were used as parents to prepare reciprocal cross combinations,and the obtained hybrids were compared with their parents to analyze their heterosis and compare their phenotypic differences.【Result】 The results showed that among the 12 indexes,there were not many positive super parent advantages. In the orthogonal combination,the number of tillers,plant height, flag leaf length,flag leaf width and inverted two leaf length showed positive super parent advantages,and the other in- dexes showed negative advantages. The super parent value of flag leaf length was the highest (23. 0%) and the su- per parent value of lower panicle node length was the lowest (-10. 3%). In the reverse cross combination,except that the super parent advantages of the length of the second leaf,the number of grains per main panicle and thousand seed weight showed positive outward,the other characters showed negative advantages,in which the super parent value of flag leaf length was the highest (17. 4%) and the super parent value of tiller number was the lowest (-25. 0%). Based on the analysis of super parent heterosis,the heterosis index of each character was analyzed. It was found that the heterosis of tiller number,plant height,flag leaf length,flag leaf width and inverted two leaf length in the orthogonal combination was more than 100%,and the heterosis index of flag leaf length was the largest,which was 123. 5%;The second was the number of tillers and inverted two leaf length,which were 120. 0% and 112. 5% respectively. The heterosis indexes of other characters were less than 100%. In the reverse cross combinations,the heterosis indexes of plant height,flag leaf length,inverted two leaf length,grains per main panicle and thousand seed weight were more than 100%,and the values of flag leaf length and grains per main panicle were the largest,117. 4% and 116. 7% respectively. The heterosis of thousand seed weight and plant height was not obvious. In general,the heterosis of orthogonal was greater than that of backcross; In the F2 generation,the flag leaf length was separated in the F2 generation. In the orthogonal,only 5% of the plants had negative super parent heterosis,while in the back- cross,it was 15. 0%. And there are great differences between positive and negative cross. The change of tiller num- ber in F2 generation showed a partial normal distribution. Only 43. 3% of the individuals with super parent advantage greater than 0 in orthogonality and 10. 0% of the individuals with super parent advantage greater than 0 in backcross. 【Conclusion】 The six traits of tiller number,plant height,flag leaf length,inverted two leaf length,main panicle length and grain number of main panicle were greatly affected by the cytoplasmic inheritance of female parents.
