Abstract:
Summary An analysis is derived for a diallel experiment in which each cross is represented by a number of homozygous Unes developed by the doubled haploid method. Both additive and additive x additive genetic variances can be estimated with this analysis. A population-improvement scheme involving the doubled haploid or single seed descent methods is also proposed.
