THE complexity of quantitative inheritance has stimulated applicatiom of many
types of experimental and theoretical techniques to formulate an integrated view
of the inheritance of continuously varying characters. Fisher (1918), Wright
(1935) and Mather (1949) proposed genetic models which described the action
of genes controlling quantitative characters in terms of genetic quantities
representing additive, and dominance effects and epistatic interactions. Their
analysis was based mainly on covariances between related individuals.
