  <dc:title>Colourful Biometrical Analysis for Plant Breeding and Genetics</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package BKBreed version 0.3.2</dc:title>
  <dc:description>A compact, colour-first toolkit for the analysis of plant
    breeding and genetics field experiments. It provides analysis of variance
    for the randomised block design (RBD) and factorial RBD, a check-anchored
    intra-block analysis for augmented alpha-lattice designs, and the core
    biometrical-genetics workflow used in crop improvement: estimation of
    genetic variability (genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation,
    broad-sense heritability, expected genetic advance), genotypic and
    phenotypic correlation, path-coefficient analysis, line x tester and
    Griffing diallel combining-ability analysis (general combining ability
    and specific combining ability), Mahalanobis D-square genetic-divergence
    analysis with Tocher and hierarchical clustering, and
    genotype-by-environment stability analysis (Eberhart-Russell regression
    and the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI)
    model). Methods follow Griffing (1956) &lt;doi:10.1071/BI9560463&gt; and
    Eberhart and Russell (1966)
    &lt;doi:10.2135/cropsci1966.0011183X000600010011x&gt;. Every analysis returns a
    tidy result object and a publication-ready 'ggplot2' figure using a
    bespoke high-contrast colour system.</dc:description>
