Asexual reproduction is, at least in some cases, the faster process, leading most rapidly to the development of large numbers of individuals.
We review how new information enables the development of large numbers of ex vivo generated MΦs, and how conditioning and gene engineering strategies are used to restrict the MΦ to an appropriate phenotype or to enable production of therapeutic proteins.
The availability of the rice genome sequence (IRGSP 2005) has accelerated the development of large numbers of molecular markers useful for fine mapping of target QTLs and cloning of QTLs for morphological and physiological traits (reviewed by Yamamoto et al. 2009).
The development of large numbers of SNP markers has made population based genome-wide association testing increasingly feasible [25], [26], [27], [28].
Next-generation sequencing enables efficient development of large numbers of SSR markers at lower costs.
By Sandra Bisin Only a few decades ago, iodine deficiency impaired the growth and mental development of large numbers of children.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive degenerative brain disease of unknown etiology, characterized by the development of large numbers of neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques in the brain.
Thus, for the development of large numbers of markers for mapping and large-scale surveys of populations or varieties, SNPs have not traditionally been used routinely.
These allow an overview of the Musa genome showing that it has a 47 % GC content, the development of large numbers of PCR-based markers, and a comparison of genes and genomic structures with other species.
Rumex species are one of the well-studied aquatic plants, and traits associated with their adaptation to such conditions include the development of large numbers of adventitious roots and petiole elongation to maintain contact with air (Blom et al. 1994).
