Genetic evaluation of popcorn families using a Bayesian approach via the independence chain algorithm

The objective of this study was to examine genetic parameters of popping expansion and grain yield in a trial of 169 halfsib families using a Bayesian approach. The independence chain algorithm with informative priors for the components of residual and family variance (inverse-gamma prior distribu...
