	abstract = {Wool samples from 28 Merino wethers, 31 Corriedale ewes, 37  Perendale ewes and 30 Coopworth ewes were examined for propensity to  develop yellow discolouration in relation to the mean fibre diameter and  its variability.    The propensity of wool to develop yellow discolourations was estimated  by two techniques, namely, an incubation technique which measures the  colour developed in the wool fibre during an incubation in the  laboratory, and the predictive technique described by Aitken et  al., 1994.    Correlations between propensity to yellow (Y-Z) and mean fibre diameter  were low in the Corriedale, Perendale and Coopworth samples, but high in  the Merinos. Correlations between propensity to yellow and standard  deviation of fibre diameter were also low in the Corriedales, Perendales  and Coopworths, but moderate in the Merinos. The correlations between Y  and Z and the fibre diameter statistics following similar trends to  those for Y-Z.    All correlations between propensity to yellow and coefficient of  variation of fibre diameter were low.    Thus while the propensity to discolour during growth is positively  related to fibre diameter in fine wool, no such relationship exists in  medium and coarser wool. This provides a further reason for Merino  breeders to produce a fine fleece type.   },
