Description: A colour-first toolkit for the statistical analysis of induced
    mutagenesis experiments in crop plants. It fits dose-response models to
    physical and chemical mutagen data and estimates the median lethal and
    growth-reduction doses (LD50, GR50) with confidence intervals obtained
    from Fieller's theorem; quantifies first-generation biological damage
    (lethality, injury and pollen sterility); and estimates mutagenic
    effectiveness and mutagenic efficiency. Effectiveness and efficiency are
    conventionally reported as point estimates only; this package treats
    them as functions of binomial proportions and supplies interval estimates
    by the delta method on the logarithmic scale and by the nonparametric
    bootstrap. It further provides chlorophyll mutation spectrum analysis with
    tests of homogeneity and diversity, generalised linear models for
    second-generation mutant counts with formal assessment of overdispersion,
    and formal comparison of mutagens including relative biological
    effectiveness. Every analysis returns a tidy result object and a
    publication-ready 'ggplot2' figure. Methods follow Konzak et al. (1965,
    ISBN:9789201150653), Fieller (1954) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1954.tb00159.x>
    and Katz et al. (1978) <doi:10.2307/2530610>.
