Sentence examples for crop segments from inspiring English sources

"Our focus is on high-value crop segments to optimize irrigation and predict yields," Brendan Carroll, Skyciscion's CEO told me.

Abiotic stresses constitute major selection factors that impact the frequency of specific crop segments in subsequent generations [ 27- 29].

In this way, crop segments that contribute to the vigour and fitness of the hybrids get introgressed with a decreasing number of hitchhiking loci with each backcross generation.

In our study, the BC1S1 and BC2S1 families revealed lines showing transgressive segregation for vigour in the control and stress treatments, indicating that two generations of backcrossing to the wild parent did not eliminate the effect of the crop segments.

One of the direct consequences of repeated backcrossing to the wild species is the continuing decrease in crop genomic segments, both in size as they become successively shorter and in frequency as each plant has fewer segments.

After crop-wild hybridization, some of the crop genomic segments may become established in wild populations through selfing of the hybrids or through backcrosses to the wild parent.

QTL epistatic effect in BC1 and BC2 populations emphasizes the genetic importance of the crop genomic segments even after two backcrosses to the wild parent.

Hybrids were identified that performed equally or better than the wild genotypes, indicating that two backcrossing events did not eliminate the effect of the crop genomic segments that contributed to the vigour of the BC1 and BC2 hybrids.

The population was characterized by long crop genomic segments in a heterozygous state which sometimes spanned all the markers of a whole linkage group (Additional file 1: Figure S2A).

After hybridization, the crop genomic segments will be established in the wild background or eliminated by selection either through selfing of the hybrids or through backcrossing to the predominant wild plants, or a combination of the two processes.

The occurrence of BC2S1 families that outperform the wild parent shows that if vigour traits positively correlate with fitness under natural conditions, crop genomic segments that confer improved vigour could be introgressed into the wild taxon, rendering it more vigorous under non-stress as well as under abiotic stress conditions.
