- ‘The evolutionary ramifications of such a mosaic of temporal and spatial gene expression patterns on direct and correlated response to selection in complex, polygenically controlled traits could be considerable.’
- ‘Bone density is suggested to be multifactorially regulated and polygenically determined.’
- ‘As polygenically inherited resistance is more stable, utilization of this type of resistance is likely to provide much more durable control of blackleg.’
