Vavilov's law and phenotypes across species - Nature.com

GENETIC VARIATION

In 1922, the Russian geneticist and plant biologist Nikolai Vavilov published a seminal paper highlighting his interests in understanding species diversity and his practical aim of helping agricultural progress. This publication contained two key ideas — the importance of studying intraspecific phenotypic variation and a new law of genetics — that would provide key evolutionary insights and later help guide molecular genetic investigations.
