This document presents information on quantitative traits in three paragraphs:
1) It introduces quantitative genetics and examples of quantitative traits in plants and humans. Quantitative traits show continuous variation and are influenced by multiple genes rather than a single gene.
2) It compares qualitative and quantitative traits, noting differences in variation, gene effects, analysis methods, and examples like wheat kernel color and human skin color.
3) It provides details on studies of wheat kernel color, human skin color, and human eye color to illustrate inheritance of quantitative traits controlled by multiple factors or polygenes. Genotypic ratios and phenotypic ratios are presented for each example.
Power Point is deals with the different aspects of Quantitative genetics in plant breeding it converse Basic Principles of Biometrical Genetics, estimation of Variability, Correlation, Principal Component Analysis, Path analysis, Different Matting design and Stability so on
This PPT consists of 24 slides explaining Polygenic Inheritance . Some traits are controlled by two or more genes. These traits differ from Mendelian traits and donot show discrete alternative or contrasting forms and show continuous ranges. Examples of such traits are wheat seed colour, plant height, Human skin colour controlled by at least three genes showing many shades of dark and fare, human height, human eye colour etc

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

3. Quantitative genetics have possibility of
continuous variations.
In 1760, Joseph Kolreuter reported first
case of continuous variation due to
quantitative trait.
Quantitative Characters are an inherited
character that expressed phenotypically in
all degrees of variation between one often
indefinite extreme and another : a
character determined by polygenes.
3
4. Qualitative Trait Quantitative Traits
1)Characters of kind.
2)Discontinuous variation;
distinct phenotypic
classes.
3)Single gene effect.
4)Concerned with individual
matings & their progeny.
5)Analysed by making counts
and ratios.
1)Characters of degree.
2)Continuous variations;
phenotypic measure-
ments from a spectrum.
3)Polygenic control; effects
of single genes too slight
to be detected.
4)Concerned with population
of organisms consisting of
all possible kinds of
matings.
5) Statistical analyses.

seeds of pea),
Structure ( horned /hornless

Pigments (black/white coat

Antigens & Antibodies
etc.

In human ( Skin colour, Eye

In plants (Seed colour in
Wheat, Ear size in Maize,
Corolla length in tobacco
etc.)
In animals (Size in chicken,
Size in Rabbit, White spotting
in mice etc.)
etc.

6. A gene, individually producing a slight
effect on the phenotype but in
combination with a few(2) or many other
genes, controls as quantitative character
is called as a Polygene.
Since there are many genes of this kind
for one quantitative character, they are
also known as multiple factors, each
factor having too small an effect to be
traced.
6
7. Those genes(alleles) which contribute to
the trait involved are called Contributing ,
effective or active genes(alleles).
Those genes(alleles) which do not
contribute to the trait involved are called
non- contributing, non-effective or null
genes(alleles).

8. The inheritance of relatively simpler
quantitative traits due to multiple factors
of polygenes will be illustrated in this
section with the help of three examples:
(1) Kernel colour in Wheat
(Studied by – H. Nilsson - Ehle )
(2) Skin colour in humans
(Studied by – C. B. Devenport )
(3) Eye colour in human
(Studied by – Burns & Battino-1989 )

9. A whole grain or seed of a cereal plant
such as corn, wheat, barley, etc.. Is called
Kernel.
Kernel colour in wheat was studied by
Swedish geneticist H. Nilsson – Ehle for the
first time in 1908.

16. In human beings, the colour of eye is
found to be determined by Polygenes.
This genes have been suggested to be X-
linked (see Burns and Battino, 1989).
At least 9 classes of eye colour can be
recognized in humans.
In order of increasing amount of melanin
pigmentation, these eye colours can be
designated as light blue, medium blue,
dark blue, grey, green, light brown,
medium brown and dark brown.
