DIALLEL-SAS: A SAS Program for Griffing's Diallel Analyses

Diallel mating designs are generally used to obtain estimates of genetic effects for a fixed set of parental lines (fixed effects) or to estimate general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) variance components from a set of randomly chosen parental lines (random effects) from multiple-environment experiments. Published computer programs for diallel analyses do not provide a partition of F1 hybrids x environments interaction into GCA x environments, SCA x environments, and reciprocal x environments components for Griffing's Methods 1 and 3, and into GCA x environments and SCA x environments components for Griffing's Methods 2 and 4. Existing programs for Methods 1 and 3 also do not partition reciprocal effects into maternal and nonmaternal effects. This paper reports the development of a comprehensive SAS program (DIALLEL-SAS) for partitioning interactions between environments (years and/or locations) and F1 hybrids. DIALLEL-SAS can be run on any microcomputer with SAS, as well as on mainframe computers installed with SAS via UNIX or TSO. The DIALLEL-SAS output includes (i) mean squares for environments, F1 hybrids, F1 hybrids x environments, GCA, SCA, reciprocal, maternal, nonmaternal, GCA x environments, SCA x environments, reciprocal x environments, maternal x environments, nonmaternal x environments, (ii) estimates of GCA and maternal effects for each parental line, and (iii) estimates of SCA, nonmaternal, and reciprocal effects for each F1 hybrid.
