Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Some two-way and three-way soybean sets did not differ significantly in yield.
- Association Mean soybean population performance was generally predictable from parental performance.
- Observation Genes from the third parent appeared to have a masking influence in three-way crosses.
- Observation Three-way soybean populations generally had larger yield genetic variance estimates than two-way populations.
- Observation All soybean populations showed transgressive segregation.
- Observation In most matched sets, three-way crosses produced more superior yield lines than two-way crosses.
