Abstract
When the population under investigation consists of highly inbred lines the full triple test-cross of Kearsey and Jinks (1968) supplemented by the selfed progenies of the population allows unambiguous and independent tests for epistasis and the adequacy of the pure-breeding testers, L1 and L2. This can also be achieved by supplementing the simplified triple test-cross of Jinks, Perkins and Breese (1969) with the selfed progenies of the L1i and L2i families. If the L1 and L2 testers prove to be inadequate due to the presence of common loci, modifications of the analyses are proposed which correct the resulting biases in the genetical components of variation.Keywords
