Synopsis The inheritance of seed size in a lima bean cross was influenced by a form of complementary epistasis. This was evidenced by depression of means with inbreeding, significance of scaling statistics, skewness of frequency distributions and mean arrays, and distortion of other genetic effects. Distortion was most apparent in the results of a variance component analysis and a factorial analysis.
