Heritability estimates of five characters of the wheat plant were studied in five crosses involving six cultivars of bread wheat. Parents, F1, F2 and backcrosses to both parents were used in the estimation of the genetic parameters.Heritability was low for number of fertile spikes/plant, moderate fo
The method described uses monogenic inherited characters as markers by which the transmission of homologous chromosome sections from parents to progeny can be controlled. The procedure then attributes effects on continuously varying characters to marked chromosome sections. It allows the mapping of
Monogenic characters mark chromosome sections and therefore allow estimation of the substitution effects of genes located in them for a quantitative character. From assumptions for higher organisms, the expected effects of a quantitative trait are deduced. The derivations aim to produce comparison v
