CHARACTERIZATION OF GENETIC VARIABILITY IN AN ADAPTED AND AN EXOTIC VARIETY OF CORN (ZEA MAYS L.) AND IN THE CROSS DERIVED FROM THEM.
Abstract
A number of early geneticists, particularly Fisher and Wright, recognized that an entirely different approach was needed to obtain the type of genetic information that would allow prediction of genetic advance in continuously distributed observations when selection is practiced under various systems of breeding. Since their pioneer studies, many purely theoretical investigations of quantitative genetics have been conducted, and the principles derived from them have been gradually tested by observation and experiment. The means of study have been experiments involving controlled mating, and the observations were made in the form of means, variances and co-variances.
