The estimators namely, the relative frequency of favourable dominant alleles in a donor inbred ( micro G), the net improvement (NI) and the probability of net gain of favourable dominant alleles (PNGg) were compared for their efficiency in ranking donors both within and between two methods, one using inbred and F1 data and the other using inbred and F2 data.
