Genetic models and their predictive value

  • Chapter
Book cover Quantitative and Ecological Aspects of Plant Breeding

Part of the book series: Plant Breeding ((PLBR))

Abstract

As we have already seen, most of those characters with which a plant breeder works vary continuously, and are controlled by several genes whose individual effects are too small to be detected by conventional Mendelian methods. Instead, the properties of these genes have to be inferred from analyses of the means and variances of appropriate generations or populations. We have already established, however, that the genes concerned obey the Mendelian laws of genetics, a premise which forms the basis of the models presented here.
