Sentence examples for breeding resources from inspiring English sources

We test this hypothesis by estimating a distance function relating breeding resources – including what we call gene-recharge rates – to the yield and protein characteristics of discovered varieties.

Backcrossing has been the standard approach for introducing diversity into elite germplasm; however, given the large number of accessions expected from allele mining, alternative breeding designs should be considered in the conversion of landrace diversity into breeding resources.

We anticipate that these challenges will be met along with the continued evolution of the CRISPR/Cas9 system particularly in the areas of manipulation of large genomic regions, transgene-free genetic modification, development of breeding resources, discovery of gene function, and improvements upon CRISPR/Cas9 components.

Male traits can signal that he is in good physical condition [30], can often be a sign of good genetic quality [31] and may indicate superior fighting ability, the quality of male parental care [32] and provision of breeding resources.

Such benefits might include establishment of a work force that will be present already when the subordinate inherits the dominant breeding position [11] [13], being allowed to stay in the group ('pay-to-stay') and receive survival benefits [8], [14] [19], or access to breeding resources for the subordinate's own reproduction [20], [21].

Wild germplasm may be a significant breeding resource for current varieties that have undergone several genetic bottlenecks and have shown limited genetic variability (Hyten et al. 2006; Keim et al. 1990).

We tested how current and potential future AES hedge management regimes affected the diversity and abundance of Lepidoptera species that utilise the hedge as a breeding resource, using a long term, multi-site, manipulative field experiment.

We test this idea in burying beetles, a species which competes over small mammal carcasses as a breeding resource.
