Overview

This text provides a guide to the experimental and analytical methodologies available for the study of 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 discussed in detail.;The Edinburgh Iowa notation is used throughout, and the glossary of terms and list of symbols includes a guide to the equivalent Birmingham notation.
