Genetic relationships between terminal shoot length, number of flushes and height in a 4-year-old progeny test of Pinus brutia Ten.

Table 5 Individual test site variance components, percent variance explained by each term (%), narrow-sense individual tree (\({{h}^{2}}_{i}\)), and family mean (\({{h}^{2}}_{hs}\)) heritability for height, terminal shoot length, and the number of flushes using the heterogeneous variance with uniform correlation structure for the family effect. Standard errors (±SE) of the estimates are provided. Terms with NA did not explain a significant variance based on the likelihood ratio tests and were dropped from the final model
