Re: HYB: average ugliness


Linda:
If it weren't true, about 50% of seedlings would be an overall improvement on
the parents, instead of 98% instant rejects.

  Neil, this is for you mostly, I think.. one of the discussions I read
  had to do with improving traits.

  I think you said something about the average of seedlings would be worse
  than the average of traits of the parents?  Did I understand that
  correctly?

  If so, could you elaborate?  I'm not sure I understand.  Or maybe I just
  don't want it to be true!
