Genetic effects of dry matter, vitamin C, soluble sugar, organic acid, crude fiber and amino acid contents in Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis) were analysed for a set of 6 ×6 diallel crosses with six inbred lines of three ecotypes. The results showed that the genetics of vitamin C, organic acid, dry matter and crude fibre contentwas appropriate to the additive-dominant-maternalmodel while the inherence of the soluble sugar and amino acid was appropriate to the additive-dominance model. The estimated narrow heritability of vitamin C, organic acid, dry matter and crude fibre contents were 53.1%, 13.5% , 38.3% and 28.2%. The estimated narrow heritability of soluble sugar, amino acid contentswere 18.4% and 40.3% respectively. It is observed that there was a significant positive correlation between the content of souble sugar and drymatter, the content of vitamin C and drymatter, the coefficient is 0.746 and 0.293 respectively; however , there was a significant negative correlation between the content of vitamin C and crude fibre, the content of vitamin C and organic acid, the coefficient is 0.366 and 0.305, respectively.
