Grain yield of the original (C0) and the populations obtained after three cycles (C1, C2, and C3) of S1 recurrent selection for yield in two Spanish synthetic populations. The prediction equations are Y = 5.0 + 0.5C and Y = 5.1 + C - 0.3C2 for EPS6(S)C and EPS7(S)C, respectively. Y = yield of grain; C = cycle of selection

Grain yield of the crosses of the original (C0) and the populations obtained after three cycles (C1, C2, and C3) of S1 recurrent selection for yield in two Spanish synthetic populations. Each point in the graph is the mean of each synthetic population crossed to the corresponding four populations (C0, C1, C2, and C3) of the other synthetic
