My initial research training was in genetics but if I had to choose a description I would say my background was in evolutionary biology.
There are a number of articles that describe some aspect of daylily inheritance. They tend to be over-simplifications for daylilies. There is no published research in the scientific literature on the genetics of characteristics in daylilies that would be helpful. I have started looking into crested, double and polymerous daylilies but it will be many years before I have enough observations to do more than speculate.
