Prediction of mean and variance of hybrids and of lines that can be derived from a random mating population

A method is presented to estimate, from a two-factor crossing design including self-fertilization, mean and variance of lines and hybrids that can be derived from a random mating population. From such an estimation, it is possible to derive the expected value of the best lines and of the best hybrid...

Description
Summary:A method is presented to estimate, from a two-factor crossing design including self-fertilization, mean and variance of lines and hybrids that can be derived from a random mating population. From such an estimation, it is possible to derive the expected value of the best lines and of the best hybrids that can be derived from a population.
