Existing data support the hypothesis that recent intense selection pressure associated with domestication indirectly selected for this increase in recombination (Ross-Ibarra 2004).
There are general lessons in this for population and conservation genetics that changes in habitat can lead to intense selection even if the mortality is non-selective in the habitat in which it occurs.
The number of selected best landraces and the number of tested seeds per selected landrace increased response to selection with more intense selection as expected.
With more intense selection, breeding programs were less likely to benefit from cooperation with breeding programs in other environments.
The schemes considered included intense selection in male pathways and genotyping of 1,000 young bulls (GS-Y).
In Unnatural Selection, Emily Monosson shows how our drugs, pesticides, and pollution are exerting intense selection pressure on all manner of species.
Surprisingly, the two-row spring gene pool, generally considered to be narrowest owing to intense selection for malting quality, exhibited a greater number of haplotype blocks than the winter lines for most chromosomes.
The intense selection process could make all the difference in nurturing the intended innovative revolution. .
This is their role and their talent (as testified by the intense selection they went through).
These situations will be the foci of the most intense selection.
Surprisingly, the team found no immune genes under intense selection, which is counter to hypotheses that diseases would have increased after the development of agriculture.
