The present series of papers is concerned with the variation shown by date of ear emergence, seed weight, and measures of seedling growth rate in the Australian Commercial population of Phalaris tuberosa L. In this first communication, the statistical theory necessary for the interpretation of the available experimental observations is developed. The treatment involves a consideration of the effects of partial self-fertilization under open-pollination, of phenotypic assortative mating, and of maternal effects, on the expectations of the observed covariances among relatives.
