Sentence examples for artificial selection pressure from inspiring English sources

The extensive use of antibiotics over the last century has resulted in a significant artificial selection pressure for antibiotic-resistant pathogens to evolve.

Here, we review pioneering studies that use the CRISPR-Cas system to specifically edit bacterial populations, eliminate their resistance genes and combine these two strategies in order to produce an artificial selection pressure for antibiotic-sensitive pathogens.

In ornamental plants, flower traits such as the floral architecture, petal color and recurrent flowering are key characters that have been subjected to artificial selection pressure during the early domestication and the subsequent breeding process.

To meet the requirements of the breeding objective, the alleles corresponding to late heading date and higher plant height were accumulated and optimized through artificial selection pressure.

As CB-F was a commercialized variety subjected to strong artificial selection pressure during its development, it was isolated from the other varieties in Figure  5.

The allele sharing map for 12 chromosomes of the 91 genotypes identified 10 large introgression regions carrying 40 non-synonymous SNP loci in the biotic and abiotic stress-responsive genes that are expected to be under artificial selection pressure.

The ability of a population to respond to natural or artificial selection pressures is determined by the genetic architecture of the selected trait.

The emphasis in this session is on the potential cost of ignoring evolution in conservation decisions: these costs include failing to recognize distinct species for protection, unintentionally creating artificial selection pressures that undermine species recovery, and spending limited conservation funds aimlessly rather than using an evolutionary framework to guide judicious use of resources.

The genus offers a marvellous opportunity to investigate the effect of man-made hybridization and extreme artificial selection pressures during domestication on the genome and gene expression.

As both noug and sunflower are cultivated for their oil, one might expect similar artificial selection pressures in the two species, but this does not appear to be the case.

We hypothesize that due to strong artificial selection pressures and demographic processes in cattle, deleterious variants increased in frequency within ROH compared with non-deleterious variants and that the deleterious allelic frequency and distribution in ROH classes differs markedly from the human genome.
