Abstract:Diallel cross designs in the framework of random effects model are considered for the estimation of ratio of variance components, viz. heritability of crosses of inbred lines. New methods for construction of partial diallel cross (PDC) design sunder unblocked and blocked set up are proposed. The resulting designs of these methods are capable of minimizing variance of the estimator of heritability. Consistency of the estimator is also established. One of the practical advantage of the proposed series of designs… Show more
