7. ROLE OF QTLs IN THE EARLY EVOLUTION...<br />

nomial distribution typical of Mendelian factors or major genes was not observed for any<br />

trait in any population. Rust resistance was also unusual in that its distribution deviated<br />

from normality in both interspecific populations but asymmetric distributions would have indicated<br />

many genes with small effect. Summarizing, the highest number of deviated histograms<br />

was found in the L. perenne population (65%) following by the interspecific one,<br />

HU5 x BO6 (50%). About 30% of characters demonstrated departure from normality in the<br />

L. multiflorum and interspecific, BR3 x NZ15 populations.<br />

Significant genotype x environment interaction was observed for majority of traits in all<br />

crosses as estimated by F value for interactions in factorial ANOVA. This interaction resulted<br />

from much lower values for all characters during the second crop in each year. Nearly for<br />

each genotype the trait values during the second crop were on average twofold lower and in<br />

a case of weight even three-fourfold lower.
