Abstract
The quantitative genetics of phenotypic error or uniformity.
Highlights
This idea is only true in a theoretical instance and in real settings, an error term must be included
Agricultural studies frequently focus upon uniformity wherein the goal is to decrease ε/increase uniformity to allow for increased planting densities and use of mechanization in crop production (Fasoula and Fasoula, 2002; Fasoula and Tollenaar, 2005)
While studies have measured the genetic component of uniformity or stochastic noise, there is minimal information about the other components of Eq 2
Summary
This idea is only true in a theoretical instance and in real settings, an error term must be included. The ε term is referred to by numerous synonyms in the literature like stochastic noise, biological variance, and error but is more commonly discussed as the inverse (ε−1) using words like uniformity, canalization, robustness, or stability depending upon the research field. These changed connections increase or decrease the uniformity of the resulting phenotype.
