On the use of tester stocks to predict the competitive ability of genotypes.

Heredity - 1 Dec 1992

Santos M, Fowler K, Partridge L

Abstract excerpt

It has been recently claimed that the outcome of competition between two phenotypically indistinguishable strains cannot be predicted from comparisons of their respective performances against a mutant tester stock. Our aim in the present paper is to disprove this claim and to show the potential pitfalls of deriving conclusions from a statistical analysis of experimental designs commonly employed for the study of...
