The Genetical Analysis of Quantitative Traits

by Michael J. Kearsey, M.J. Kearsey, M. J. Kearsey Harpal S. Pooni Michael J. Kearsey

This work provides a guide to the experimental and analytical methodologies available to study quantitative traits, a review of the genetic control of quantitative traits and a discussion of how this knowledge can be applied to breeding problems and evolution. Mathematics is kept simple and brief and worked examples, both plant and animal, are used extensively. The possibilities opened up by the use of molecular genetic markers are explained and extensively...
