“Nine varieties were chosen for a diallel crossing”

“The main difference with design II is that the same individuals are used as parents for the diallel mating design (individuals are used both as male and female).”

“A series of diallel analyses (cf. Mather and Jinks, 1982) were performed to test for heterogeneity among lines of a given type.”

“[…] like conditions and common ends as the ideal and goal of human effort are attained along parallel and not diallel lines in all the diversities of human application and invention.”

“Fundamental to this new theory is the discovery of diallel, gravitational-field lines. These connect the two bodies — providing a path for the gravitational information to flow. To see the evidence of these diallel lines in nature requires a paradigm shift away from the traditional view of gravitational interaction.”

“[…] connecting diallel lines which provide not only particle flow between the bodies, but also the flow of photon and gravitational information as well […]”
