TL;DR: Any meaningful comparison of the estimates obtained in different situations must include a careful evaluation of the methods and materials employed.
Abstract: RiCENT studies on a number of characters of soybeans
have been directed toward estimation of heritability,
that is, the fraction of variance in phenotypic expression
that arises from genetic effects. However, the different
methods employed do not necessarily estimate the same
thing. For example, variance and regression methods of
estimating heritability of F2 plant differences estimate the
same thing only if all gene effects are additive. The nature
of the selection units (plant, plot, mean of several plots,
etc.) and sampling errors also influence greatly the magnitude
of heritability estimates. Therefore, any meaningful
comparison of the estimates obtained in different situations
must include a careful evaluation of the methods and
materials employed
