Abstract excerpt
A new approach to multivariate genetic analysis of complex organismal traits is developed. It is based on examination of the distribution of parental strains and the F1 and F2 hybrids in a multidimensional space, and the determination of the directions corresponding to heterozygosity, epistatic and additive gene effects. The effect of heterozygosity includes variability produced by interaction between and within...
