Description
Summary:About the Book: This book deals with the problems of students, teachers and researchers associated with the subject of genetics, plant and animal breeding. Basic concepts necessary to explain statistical measures and analysis of data are also incorporated. Path analysis, heritability, repeatability, genotypic and phenotypic correlations, analysis of breeding experiments by Hayman's approach and otherwise, combining ability analysis for Griffing's models, line x tester analysis, stability analysis etc., are explicated theoretically and also by demonstrating thoroughly worked examples. This book will also bridge the gap between consulting statisticians and breeders. In a broader sense this book is good for students and researchers in the areas of biology, plant breeding, animal breeding, etc., in multifarious ways. Contents: Basics of Genetics Path Analysis Heritability and Repeatability Breeding and Data Analysis Combining Ability Analysis Stability Analysis.
