Ancestors of some grain crops harbored genetic variation for life history.
Tree nuts and groundnuts, along with maize and other grains, can harbor aflatoxins, naturally occurring fungal metabolites that have been identified as risk factors for developing liver cancer.
Such conditions are known to arise in the bacteriocytes of grain weevils, which harbor dense intracellular infections of symbiotic bacteria that are closely related to S. glossinidius.
Some principal components like HPC1, HPC2, VPC3, and VPC4 have direct negative effect on grain weight and loci harboring their control should undergo negative selection in order to get superior grain weight genotypes.
These results suggested that the protein sequence and expression level of Gn1a might affect the number of grains, as cultivars harboring AP9 could produce more grains than cultivars with AP8.
In a near isogenic line (NIL; GW2) harboring a large grain allele, grain width increased 26.2% compared to the small grain parental line.
To people like me, who harbor more than a grain of Francophilia, that antagonism predated the contretemps that gave us freedom fries.
The ancestor of the plant that gives us its succulent yellow kernels is an unappetizing grain known as teosinte, whose ears harbor only five to 12 rock-hard grains.
The QTL clusters of qGS3.1 and qGS7.1 associated with grain shape on Chr03 and Chr07 harbor more than four QTL loci, showing high stability and PVE value in multiple environments.
I enjoy whole grain bread in olive oil, but harbor no malice toward Picts or Gauls.
Bian et al. (2010) reported that this region harbors QTLs for 1000 grain weight, grain length, and grain width in chromosome substitution lines developed between indica/japonica rice lines.
