Sentence examples for breeding programmes to select from inspiring English sources

This paper reports the first large-scale phenotyping of this trait, provides important information for nutritionists to identify and quantify the impact of low GI rices on blood sugar status and offers a mechanism for breeding programmes to select for GI based on amylose content.

Modifying existing breeding programmes to select against multiple ovulation in commercial flocks is a potential route for reducing the requirement for feed restriction of broiler breeders.

Association of candidate genes with QTL and subsequent marker development would enable molecular discrimination between plants harbouring alleles conferring differential WSC accumulation and hence be of value in breeding programmes to select high WSC plants.

However, a step forward could be made by accounting for tree developmental traits in breeding programmes to select new genotypes with desired properties in terms of tree architecture and light interception efficiency (LIE).

Genetic variability in these genes could also be studied to determine whether allelic variations can be used in breeding programmes to select Hevea clones not only for agronomic traits but also for their responsiveness to somatic embryogenesis.

Breeding programmes to select for sheep with PrP genotypes associated with relative resistance to scrapie (and BSE) have decreased the incidence of scrapie in affected flocks, but it is still uncertain if these programmes will eventually lead to the eradication of scrapie.

It will be particularly important to be in a position to select specific alleles in breeding programmes to allow us to enhance robustness against increasing climate variability.

"This will allow breeding programmes to be better managed".

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]).
