A generalized linear model with repeated measures with a post hoc sequential Bonferonni test was used to determine the significant differences between lines and among generations within each line. The capital letters show significant differences between breeding lines in each generation, while the small letters indicate the significant differences among generations within each line (P < 0.05).
