Heritability in Plant Breeding

This GitHub respository contains R and SAS codes for a number of methods for heritability estimation in plant breeding and thus mostly heritability on an entry-mean basis. Its aim is to provide helpful examples for researchers and practicioners in the field of plant breeding or general cultivar evaluation trials.

📦 There is now an R package: heritable

Most of the heritability measures demonstrated in this repository are now available in the heritable R package, which computes various heritability estimates directly from a fitted mixed model. If you just want the numbers, the package is usually the easier route; the example scripts here remain useful for understanding how each estimator is computed.

It is work in progress and will be updated from time to time.
