The character considered was left sternopleural bristle number in Drosophila melanogaster. A total of 128 males scored for the trait were mated to females of the same and another strain. The characteristic was then measured in both the pure and crossbred progeny and the heritabilities for the trait in each group were determined. The genetic correlation between pure and crossbred performance standard error estimated from covariances was found to be significantly different from one indicating the presence of genetic interaction. The heritability of purebred performance by regression analysis was found to be and the heritability of crossbred performance . The corresponding average values from sib analysis were and respectively. A comparison of responses from different selection methods incorporating the estimated parameters found that selection on the basis of sire s own performance led to the largest improvement in the performance of crossbred progeny. The implications of the results are discussed. genotype environment interaction genetic correlation between purebred and crossbred performance sternopleural bristles Drosophila melanogaster Resume - Interaction génétique entre géniteur et population des partenaires chez Drosophila melanogaster.
