This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second edition of Biometricai Genetics, which appeared in 1971, we set out to give a general account of the subject as it had developed up to that time. Such an account necessarily had to be comprehensive and reasonably detailed. Although it could be, and indeed has been, used by those who were making an acquaintance with this branch of genetics for the first time, it went beyond their needs. We have been encouraged therefore to write an introduction to the genetical analysis of continuous variation aimed primarily at senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, and concentrating on basic considerations, basic principles and basic techniques. This has meant, of course, omitting all reference to some phenomena of more restricted interest, notably sex-linkage, ma ternal effects, haploidy and polyploidy. It has meant, too, that even with some phenomena which have been included, like interactions, linkage and effective factors, the discussions cannot go into full detail. Anyone who is interested, however, can find further information in Biometricai Genetics, to which detailed references have been given where it ap peared that these would be helpful. The order of presentation has been changed with the aim of making it easier for beginners.

Book excerpt: The properties of continuous variation are basic to the theory of evolution and to the practice of plant and animal improvement. Yet the genetical study of continuous variation has lagged far behind that of discontinuous variation. The reason for this situation is basically methodological. Mendel gave us not merely his principles of heredity, but also a method of experiment by which these principles could be tested over a wider range ofliving species, and extended into the elaborate genetical theory of today. The power of this tool is well attested by the speed with which genetics has grown. In less than fifty years, it has not only developed a theoretical structure which is unique in the biological sciences, but has established a union with nuclear cytology so close that the two have become virtually a single science offering us a new approach to problems so diverse as those of evolution, development, disease, cellular chemistry and human welfare. Much of this progress would have been impossible and all would have been slower without the Mendelian method of recognizing and using unit differences in the genetic materials. These great achievements should not, however, blind us to the limitations inherent in the method itself. It depends for its success on the ability to assign the individuals to classes whose clear phenotypic distinctions reveal the underlying genetic differences.

Download or read book Phenomics in Crop Plants: Trends, Options and Limitations written by Jitendra Kumar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identification of desirable genotypes with traits of interest is discernible for making genetic improvement of crop plants. In this direction, screening of a large number of germplasm for desirable traits and transfer of identified traits into agronomic backgrounds through recombination breeding is the common breeding approach. Although visual screening is easier for qualitative traits, its use is not much effective for quantitative traits and also for those, which are difficult to score visually. Therefore, it is imperative to phenotype the germplasm accessions and breeding materials precisely using high throughput phenomics tools for challenging and complex traits under natural, controlled and harsh environmental conditions. Realizing the importance of phenotyping data towards identification and utilization of a germplasm as donors, global scientific community has exerted increased focus on advancing phenomics in crop plants leading to development of a number of techniques and methodologies for screening of agronomic, physiological, and biochemical traits. These technologies have now become much advanced and entered the era of digital science. This book provides exhaustive information on various aspects related to phenotyping of crop plants and offers a most comprehensive reference on the developments made in traditional and high throughput phenotyping of agricultural crops.

This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms while plant breeding is the art and science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics. The fundamental discoveries of Darwin and Mendel established the scientific basis for plant breeding and genetics at the turn of the 20th century. Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still a primary principle of genetics in the 21st century, but modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes. The recent integration of advances in biotechnology, genomic research, and molecular marker applications with conventional plant breeding practices has created the foundation for molecular plant breeding. The present book entitled "Key notes on Genetics and Plant Breeding" has been designed to provide a simple umbrella for the multidisciplinary field of modern plant breeding that combines molecular tools and methodologies with conventional approaches for crop improvement. The topics mainly covered includes general genetics, genome organization of crop plants, cytogenetics of crop plants, reproduction and pollination methods, plant breeding methods, population and quantitative genetics principles, biometrical genetics, plant breeding for stress resistance and nutrional quality, genetic engineering and biotechnological tools in plant breeding, plant genetic resources and their regulatory system, seed- classes and certification, economic botany and medicinal plants and Statistical methods and field plot techniques. Hope this volume would be useful for graduate and post graduate students of Agriculture and Biology in all Indian Universities. This will also be useful for those appearing in Competitive examinations such as Agricultural Research Services of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, National Eligibility Test, Civil Services Examination and other allied examinations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books on genetic statistics and quantitative genetics. These books expect different level of preparedness and analytical interventions emphasis on the formulation of real breeding data sets. This book is not introductory, it presumes various statistical and mathematical models demonstrated and derived considering by real breeding data sets. Reader are expected to know the essential of recent statistical tools such as sensor fusion estimation techniques, Kernel regression model, mathematical modeling on hardy Weinberg equilibrium, Pham kinetic genetic model, MLE's, OLR, weighted ordinary least square analysis, genetic correlation, heritability tested by advanced statistical tools, extraction of dummy variables from genetic and non-genetic components, random mating probability models, Risk analysis of human hereditary data by Bayesian approach, algorithms of sex linked inherited X-chromosomes, evaluation of pedigree through statistical approach, sex-linked recessive disorder of human population, data reduction techniques by snap shot techniques, Kal man filter estimation of multiple genetic traits, estimation of genetic variance, structural changes of genetic parameters, oscillation of genotypic and environmental variance, linear and nonlinear models etc. The main emphasis of the entire book is derivation of mathematical and statistical models to prove hardy Weinberg equilibrium at large random mating population. The present text book describes salient objectives and practical applicability to learn what methods are available and more importantly, when they should be applied in real life .Many examples are presented to clarify the use of the recent statistical techniques and to demonstrate what conclusions can be made at the right time modeling on genetics. Nevertheless, Statistical & mathematical modeling is a diversified area including many different topics illustrated by real breeding data sets. Furthermore, an advanced statistical technique has covered in the present edition. As per the genetic model formulation, a new technology is described in all the chapters. The PG students and research Scholars will easily extend the methods to enable for the compilation of high dimensional breeding datasets (Big data) generated from different experimental designs. Although the book narrowly focuses on a few topics, each topic Genetic fundamentals is provided with the partial derivatives. In collective terms, the statistical genetics is a multidisciplinary area with rapid developments, the present text book will helps to breeder's, researcher's and students to solve the real world problems of Genetics. For example, during the time between the completion of the first draft and the publication of this book, new methodologies and model formulation may have already been developed. Therefore, the book can only focus on the principles of advance statistical genetics. The present academic book intends to be used as a textbook for post graduate students in human, plant and animal genetics, but it can also be used by researchers as a reference book. For advanced readers, they can choose to read any particular chapters as they desire.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few would dispute the truth of the statement `People are Different', but there is much controversy over why. This book authoritatively explains the methods used to understand human variation, and extends them far beyond the primary `nature or nurture' question. After chapters on basic statistics, biometrical genetics, matrix algebra and path analysis, there is a state-of-the-art account of how to fit genetic models using the LISREL package. The authors explain not only the assumptions of the twin method, but how to test them. The elementary model is expanded to cover sex limitation, sibling interaction, multivariate and longitudinal data, observer ratings, and twin-family studies. Throughout, the methods are illustrated by applications to diverse areas such as obesity, major depression, alcohol comsumption, delinquency, allergies, and common fears.
