Sentence examples for a fertility defect from inspiring English sources

The most likely explanation was a fertility defect.

Similar to yeast, loss of Drosophila type I prenyl protease function causes a fertility defect.

The LSS class formed morphologically normal stamens, but a fertility defect occurred at stage 9 12, i.e., the pollen development stages.

If, on the other hand, the segregation ratio for the p5cs2 mutant allele should approximate a 1 1 ratio, a fertility defect for the gametophyte carrying both p5cs1 and p5cs2 mutations would be confirmed.

The asexual mutant group was further subdivided into a complete asexual mutant class (ESS; e.g., Figure 4f) in which stamens did not develop, an incomplete asexual mutant class (ISS; e.g., Figure 4g i), which have immature stamens, and a fertility defect mutant class (LSS), which have morphologically mature but sterile stamens.

The C. elegans infection assay was carried out as described by Kurz et al. [25] except that the Fer-15 mutant line, which has a temperature sensitive fertility defect, were used rather than wild type N2 worms.
