Sentence examples for mediating gene flow from inspiring English sources

We expected the strongly asymmetric force of wind present in this system to play a role in mediating gene flow among populations.

In particular, comparative studies provide a powerful means to reveal shared and disparate mechanisms mediating gene flow and to expose species differences that may have important conservation implications [28].

Given the few populations analysed, our results do not consistently support a preference in the sex mediating gene flow.

Population stratification is unlikely to explain for the associations observed, since analysis of mtDNA and Y-chromosomal genetic variation patterns in our study population revealed that female mediated gene flow is nearly fully random whereas male mediated gene flow is highly reduced.

We investigated seed-mediated gene flow, which yields adventitious Bt cotton plants, and pollen-mediated gene flow, which generates outcrossed seeds.

High levels of spatial genetic structure were found among subpopulations, suggesting that pollen mediated gene flow and seed dispersal occur mainly within small distances.

Fine-scale spatial genetic structure (FSGS) within plant populations is an emergent property of the recruited adult trees, influenced by pollen and seed mediated gene flow, selection and demographic processes.

GM maize is reported as "medium to high" risk and oilseed rape as "high" risk for pollen mediated gene flow (Eastham and Sweet [2002]) and this may also contribute to the high number of incidents reported for these two crops, but wouldn't be a strong factor for cotton and soya.

Wind may not mediate gene flow in these lineages if their flight speeds are greater than the wind speeds they encounter during movements between islands.

Hence these moths can mediate gene flow when self-pollen is unavailable.

The ratio of pollen mediated/seed mediated gene flow was calculated according to Petit et al., 2005 [ 33].
