Sentence examples for adaptive breeding from inspiring English sources

Our data suggest that numerous genes directly or indirectly involved in flowering regulation play pleiotropic roles in adaptation to environmental stresses, and thus represent important genetic factors to be considered for adaptive breeding.

Due to its broad geographic and ecological distribution, this wild subpopulation has also been exposed to extensive natural and artificial selection, acquiring diverse forms of disease and insect resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, grain quality, and physiological characteristics that provide plant breeders with valuable allele complexes for adaptive breeding and variety development.

The evolution of adaptive breeding habit of lacustrine species may be attributable to this arid climate change, providing insight into the mechanisms that might have been responsible for bursts of lacustrine species diversification at that time.

Breeding suppression in social breeders had also been discussed as an adaptive delay of breeding by subordinates, a restraint of subordinates foregoing breeding in expectation that conditions could improve in the future [ 30].

This study is important in light of the sexual dimorphism that is limited to the joint flexors of the forelimbs in frogs, suggesting that this dimorphism evolved as an adaptive feature for breeding behaviors (grappling and amplexus), rather than being a global and incidental effect of high T in males.

For example, modern biologists might be interested in why some male gorillas disperse from the groups where they were born or why crossbills exhibit extensive adaptive radiation or why breeding pairs of ring-billed gulls adopt unrelated chicks.

To avoid inbreeding depression and maintain adaptive potential in captivity, breeding interactions are managed to maximize retention of genetic diversity.

Our results advance an empirical understanding of how populations may adapt to local climate across many loci and should facilitate the screening of climatically relevant adaptive variation in natural, breeding and deployment populations, and to developing species-specific genetic resource management and conservation strategies.

Genetic parameters and breeding values of the adaptive immune response traits AMIR and CMIR in these herds have been estimated and reported previously [ 9].

The strong selective regime imposed by saline habitats is evidenced by specialized halophytic plant species and ecotypes [ 15]; such natural populations are an important reservoir of adaptive variation that could be useful in breeding future crops.

Since dog and stickleback are known to be subject to rapid adaptations due to population bottlenecks and breeding, we further hypothesize that an increase in recombination rates near gene starts has been part of an adaptive process.
