Table I. Variance components for mixed pollination traits.

KanS refers to the proportion of kanamycin-sensitive seeds resulting from mixed pollinations. Components of variance due to genetic differences among RILs (VG) and error measures within RILs (VE) were estimated from an ANOVA of MS values, where the dependent variable was either kanamycin sensitivity or seed set, and the random factor was RILs. Heritability (H2) was calculated as VG/(VG + VE). The F ratio (MSTrait/MSError) and resulting P value are also indicated.
