Quantitative Genetics and Crop Breeding

Contents: Preface. 1. Genetic variation. 2. Correlation and causation. 3. Discriminant function analysis. 4. Stability analysis. 5. Genetic divergence. 6. Combining ability. 7. Genetic analysis of F1 generation. 8. Graphic analysis in F1 generation. 9. Genetic analysis of early segregating generations. 10. Genetic analysis of back cross F1 populations. 11. Genetic analysis of triple test cross progenies. 12. Genetic analysis of biparental progenies. References. Index.

The present work is unique in that sense it gives formulae along with actual data analyzed for the easy understanding. This book is mainly meant for post graduate and research scholars in quantitative genetics. A careful perusal of the book will give clear cut idea bout the interpretation of the data and formulation of breeding strategies.
