Table 1. Results from the analyses of variance presented by variance components and p-values for the factorial cross families at Hoxmark and Nilsrud (Series 1) for height and lesion lengths and heritabilities and type-b genetic correlations, with standard error in parentheses. Flushing was assessed at Hoxmark only.
