β¦ Synopsis
The simple mating designs provide unbiased estimates for genetic components of variance (additive genetic variance and dominance variance) under the assumption of no epistatic effect. There is empirical evidence, however, that suggests the existence of epistatic gene effects. The triallel and double cross mating designs permit the estimation of epistatic gene effects. A systematic and mathematical approach is suggested for the estimation of variance components based on the alternate model for triallel mating design.

The so-called linear approach to estimating linear functions of variance and/or covariance components clearly shows the well-known connection between quadratic, invariant and unbiased, estimation and the classical linear theory methods, LSE and BLUE. This approach allows us to consider and to use fu
