DT_halfdiallel: half diallel data for corn hybrids

Description

This dataset contains phenotpic data for 21 corn hybrids, with 2 technical repetitions, coming from a half diallel design and evaluated for sugar content. The column geno indicates the hybrid and male and female origin columns are included as well.

Usage

data("DT_halfdiallel")

Arguments

Format

The format is: chr "DT_halfdiallel"
