Figure 2

Schematic illustration of expected mean phenotypes from the line-cross analysis under the assumption of no X-linkage (top panel) and in the presence of X-linkage (bottom panel) with both additive and dominance effects. For simplicity epistasis and maternal effects are ignored. Using notation of Mather and Jinks (1982), [d]=[h]=[dx]=[hx]=[d′x]=1, where d refers to additive effects, h to dominance effects and the subscript to X-linkage. Genomic contributions are indicated for parental (P1, P2), F1 backcross (B1, B2), and F1 and F2 hybrid generations.
