Sentence examples for domestication phase from inspiring English sources

These regions were therefore hypothesized to be the site of origin of one of the mtDNA haplogroups (the C haplogroup) and of "an incipient goat domestication phase".
Several essential crop characters (such as yield, plant architecture and shedding) were selected during the early phase of domestication.
However, small berry size alleles may have been re-introduced afterwards during secondary phases of domestication [ 82, 83], or mutations may have arisen after domestication, which could explain the detection of this QTL in two different populations.
This study indicates that detecting selection using standard approaches in the early phases of domestication might be challenging unless selection is strong and the traits under selection show simple inheritance patterns.
However, although the loss of diversity in the initial phases of domestication appears to be small, it may become a concern in the long-term maintenance of hatchery populations.
The main objective was to simulate the effects of different genetic backgrounds and selection pressures on quantitative trait (QTL) differentiation relative to the neutral marker divergence during the early phases of domestication.
