The results presented are means of the 100 replicates; standard deviations of the 100 replicates ranged from 0.01 to 0.02 for trait 1, and from 0.02 to 0.05 for trait 2; 1see Table 1 for a description of the different breeding scenarios; 2see Table 2 for a description of the breeding goals; within a column: all means differ (p < 0.01) except for values with the same superscripts.
