Sentence examples for breeding programmes due to from inspiring English sources

However, it remains difficult to integrate these traits in breeding programmes due to the complex changes in trait values during tree development (Laurens et al., 2000; Segura et al., 2008).

With the advances in molecular breeding technologies, breeders now gain access to genes from wild rice and unadapted genotypes (landraces) that are difficult to use in breeding programmes due to crossing barriers and their poor agronomic performance.

Although marker-assisted background selection is very useful in rapid reconstitution of the RPG, it can be very demanding in terms of application in a breeding programme due to several constraints, including identifying useful polymorphisms, its cost and timely execution (Singh et al. 2012).

However, the inclusion of fillet percentage in breeding programmes is recommended due to the negative genetic correlation with length.

Understanding this could enable breeding programmes to target this trait, leading to new varieties with even lower GI values than are currently known for rice.

This case study demonstrates the feasibility of using microCT scans as a partially non-destructive method in Pinus tree breeding programmes to confirm fertilisation and determine seed viability.

However, progress with breeding programmes to develop salt-tolerant rice has been slow (Gregorio et al. [2002]; Flowers [2004]; Yamaguchi and Blumwald [2005]).

Tree breeding programmes, to ensure the best seed, are hampered by the trees' long life-cycles.

These limitations currently restrict the capacity of breeding programmes to routinely conduct genome-wide marker surveys.

Even selection and utilization of diverse cultivars in breeding programmes is needed to enhance the diversity of breeding populations for selection gains in the future [ 47].
