Heterosis in crossbred individuals. (a) Results for a low correlation of LD phase between breeds A and B (r = 0.2 for markers 1 cM apart). (b) Results for a high correlation of LD phase between breeds A and B (r = 0.7 for markers 1 cM apart). The plotted heterosis values are means from 30 replicates. Sc. Ref: Selection criteria in both breed A and B was for purebred performance (P) and both breeds had Separate training sets. Sc.1: Selection criteria in breed A was for crossbred performance (C) and selection criteria in breed B was for purebred performance and both breeds had separate training sets. Sc.2: Selection criteria in both breed A and B was for crossbred performance and both breeds had separate training sets. Sc.3: Selection criteria in breed A was for crossbred performance and selection criteria in breed B was for purebred performance and both breeds had a Common training set. Sc.4: Selection criteria in both breed A and B was for crossbred performance and both breeds had a common training set.
