It is a measure of average dominance interaction deviations in maternal effect (m) of F, dams relative to that of purebred dams, for example = paternal hetevosis and is -breed crosses, relative to those in -breed crosses, from recombinations 2 r! = the deviation due to change in epistatic gene interaction effects in between gametes derived from parent breeds of F, crossbred sires or dams. and ’Y are specific effects of crossbred dam’s or sire’s genotype but The parameters-h hP are measured as environmental effects from analyses of offspring data. Various comparisons used to estimate maternal heterosis and epistatic recombination effects have been summarized in the following table along with their genetic expectations. No attempt has been made to explicitely derive these expectations. However, it canbe easily accom- plished in closely following DicxExsorr (ig6g). To arrive at these expectations and to obtain unbiased estimat
