Abstract
In the paper a development of quantitative genetics has been presented on the background of the main achievements in biometry and biology. Different approaches and methods in historical aspect have been described and four periods in quantitative genetics history were distinguished: (1) formulating the hypothesis of polygenes, (2) the development of methods based on segregating generations, (3) the use of doubled haploid populations in analysis of quantitative inheritance, (4) combining quantitative and molecular genetics. These periods have been characterized taking into account estimation of allelic and nonallelic gene action effects, number of segregating genes and presence of linkage between genes. Current trends in studies on molecular basis of quantitative inheritance were also discussed.
