Genetic Analysis of Reduced γ-Tocopherol Content in Ethiopian Mustard Seeds

Table 3

Estimates of additive, dominance, and digenic interaction parameters (± standard error) for -tocopherol content and total tocopherol content through a joint scaling test in the cross between the Ethiopian mustard lines BCT-6, with reduced -tocopherol content, and C-101, with conventional levels of -tocopherol. -values for significance tests are given in parentheses.
