Abstract excerpt
In a previous study of maize (Zea mays L.) populations formed from few parents, we found that estimates of genetic variances were inconsistent with a simple additive genetic model. Our objective in the current study was to determine how multilocus epistasis and linkage affect the loss of genetic variance in populations created from a small number of parents (N). In simulation experiments, F(2) individuals from...
