  1. Values are the means of 20 replicates; variance components for each source of genetic variation: \( {\sigma}_g^2 \) = total genetic variance; \( {\sigma}_e^2 \) = residual variance. Predictive abilities: ρ = accuracy of estimated total genetic value; b = regression coefficient of total genetic value on its estimate.
