Eight different analyses aro presented. 'l'hese result from a consideration of four different diallel crossing systems together wit.h two alternative assumptions with regard to the sampling nature of tho experimental material. A numerical example is given T2 - Australian Journal of Biological Sciences DO - https://doi.org/10.1071/BI9560463 ER -
