Fig 1.
History of the E. nitens breeding program established in New Zealand. The number of selected parents are given in the arrows between the different generations.
Fig 2.
Agreement in relatedness inferred from the pedigree and from sib-ship analysis and number of cases detected are given in the lower triangular relationship matrix (including diagonal) for each scenario.
Fig 3.
Comparison of performance between outbred and inbred individuals after sib-ship reconstruction and Welch t-test p-values; x-axis represents presence (1) or absence (0) of selfing.
Table 1.
Variance components, heritability, their standard errors and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) estimated on the basis of pedigree information, sib-ship reconstruction using only additive relationship matrix (Sib-ship A) and sib-ship reconstruction using additive and dominant relationship matrix (Sib-ship AD).
Table 2.
Accuracy of breeding values estimated in single trait model, multi-trait model based on documented pedigree and multi-trait model based on information from sib-ship reconstruction.
Table 3.
Pairwise genetic correlations and their standard errors estimated based on information from pedigree (above diagonal) and from sib-ship reconstruction (below diagonal).
