Separation of single gene and polygenic effects would be useful in crop improvement. In this study, additive-dominance model with a single qualitative gene based on diallel crosses of parents and progeny F1s (or F2s) was examined. The mixed linear model approach, minimum norm quadratic unbiased estimation (MINQUE), was used to estimate the variance and covariance components and single gene effects. Monte Carlo simulation was used to evaluate the efficiency of each parameter estimated from the MINQUE approach for this genetic model. The results of 200 simulations indicated that estimates of variance components and single gene effects …
