DT_halfdiallel {sommer}

half diallel data for corn hybrids

Description

This dataset contains phenotpic data for 21 corn hybrids, with 2 technical repetitions, coming from a half diallel design and evaluated for sugar content. The column geno indicates the hybrid and male and female origin columns are included as well.

Usage

data("DT_halfdiallel")

Format

The format is: chr "DT_halfdiallel"

Source

This data was generated by a corn study.
