Fig. 1. Comparison of Castle-Wright ratios under pure additive x additive epistasis (CWAxA) versus under additive (CWAdd) gene action. Allele frequencies only go to 0.5 in the graph because it is symmetrical. Positive values on the Z axis indicate greater limiting response to selection relative to initial additive variance under epistatic than additive gene action.

Fig. 3. Response to selection of the expected population mean in the parental sample, random-mated line population, and in line populations at linkage equilibrium under additive by additive epistasis with effective population size N = 8.

Fig. 4. Response to selection per cycle in the expected population mean under additive x additive epistasis as a function of recombination frequency, r. Within each graph, the upper and lower pair of curves show, respectively, the response due to shifts in allele frequencies and due to covariance in allele content (see text).
