Examples show that the major genes causing variability for similar traits in different species are rarely the same.
Current thinking is that major gene mutations cause only a small proportion of all cases and that in most cases, non-genetic factors play a part, probably in interaction with susceptibility genes.

There were three major gene clusters.
The question is whether upgrading mega - varieties with major genes is sufficient to address future constraints caused by climate change and to meet consumer demands for different markets.
Correlations caused by repeated tests of major genes are not specifically accounted for in this approximation.
