For one-, two- and n-locus models of a quantitative trait assumed to be determined by overdominant loci, it is shown that the mean of an inbred line will be equal to or larger than the mean of the base population if the original gene frequencies satisfy a condition which is generally a function of the degree of overdominance and of the genotypic values.
