Additive Variance and Open‐Pollinated Progenies Under Mixed Mating

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pollinated progeny tests are still widely interpreted as if all the individuals within a maternal family were true half‐sibs. However, in species with mixed mating systems, this assumption is often biologically unrealistic and may bias the estimation of the additive variance, narrow‐sense heritability and expected selection gains.
