A comparison of heritability estimates from regression and intra-class correlation analyses in full-sib and half-sib families showed that heritability estimates from regression analysis were lower than intra-class correlation estimates in both types of families. The heritability estimates from half-sib families were higher than full-sib for all the traits, except number of leaves per plant and 100-seed weight. A comparisqn of heritabiiity estimates from offspring-parents, bOP1, bOP2 and bOMP showed that heritability estimates from regression of offspring-mid parent were higher than offspring-one parents. Further, leaf length showed the lowest heritability in regression analysis. The overall results showed that plant height, 100-seed weight and number of leaves per plant showed higher heritability.
