If the relationship among underlying component traits is nonlinear, epistatic effects can occur on the phenotypic level of complex traits even if the gene action is purely additive when characterized at the level of the component traits.
“If the relationship among the underlying component traits is nonlinear, epistatic effects can occur on the phenotypic level of complex traits even if the gene action is purely additive when characterized at the level of the component traits [33].”

There is ample evidence for the importance of epistasis in crops, including for economically important traits such as grain yield in maize.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
