| Abstract: | Summary Triple-testcross experiments were used to analyze epistatic contributions to % hatchability of eggs, age of pupation, number of eggs laid in 24-hour period, and survival from hatching to day 35. Seven diverse inbred lines and the F1 produced by crossing the two tester lines were examined for the presence of epistasis. There was evidence of epistasis for each of the 4 traits in at least one of the 8 lines tested. Epistasis was a major source of variation in survival in all of the lines tested. |
