Sentence examples for main selection pressure from inspiring English sources

In particular, drought-tolerant bryophytes could survive in sunny locations, where DPOR requirement would be less, suggesting the possibility that chlB, chlL, and chlN genes on their chloroplast genomes may initiate pseudogenization if day length is the main selection pressure for this gene disposition.

This observation suggests that light intensity is not the main ecological selection pressure on Prochlorococcus photosynthetic strategy and that nutrient availability may be a more important factor in determining Prochlorococcus ecotype distribution [7].

In particular, the sites identified under positive selection generally focus on these regions, indicating that the main selective pressure acting on the primate Tetherin comes from virus infection.

The purpose of this paper is to define the main selection criteria of the separation pressure for geothermal binary power plants to maximize the efficiency of the system.

These R1 repeats and microsatellite sequences could have evolved from ancestor pathogen strains transmitted by R. microplus as the main vector, and then evolved under lower selection pressure, due to pathogen transmission by other tick species or mechanically.

Koonin's main argument however is that he can identify a selection pressure for the emergence of these mechanisms of quality control.

We propose that this loss of selection pressure on epitope precursors is one of the main factors that determine the eventual degree of adaptation to epitope precursors that HIV-1 can reach on the population level (Fig. 5).

Therefore, R1 repeats are evolving under high selection pressure only in sites where R. microplus is the main vector and is subjected to selection because of climate constraints.

Nevertheless, the high selection pressure caused by their exaggerated use has promoted resistance to the main commercial ixodicides [ 2].

The results reported here showed that lowest selection pressure exist in sites where Dermacentor spp. ticks are the main biological vectors or where mechanical transmission is predominant because of eradication of R. microplus.

Selection pressure [ 1] and deletional bias [ 2] have been proposed as the main forces responsible for minimizing the amount of non-functional DNA in prokaryote genomes.
