Abstract
Genetic analysis of continuous variation is important in developing plant breeding methodology. The quantification and subdivision of genetic variance into its component parts provides a key to the types of gene action available for the improvement of various polygenic characters. Once the plant breeder ascertains the type of gene action he should be able to determine an expedient and efficient breeding program. Such information is lacking in mutation plant breeding and is critically needed if plant breeders are to make progress using artificially induced variation.
