Quantum conductance corrections (QCC) due to weak localization and interaction effects of quantum quasiballistic wires have been investigated for the first time. At temperatures in the range 2K<T<12Ka crossover of these corrections from one-dimensional behavior to zero-dimensional one have been observed. It is shown that phase coherence length in the wires studied is less than length Lt = (HD/kT)1/2 at all temperatures. It is found that the conventional theory of QCC describes correctly the experimental temperature dependence of QCC but gives much lower value than the experimental one.
