These three micro-morphological traits are thus of potential value when selecting for powdery mildew resistance from progeny or from collected material used in mulberry breeding programmes.
The morphological traits associated with race, thus, were gross aggregates of a variety of genetic changes, some of which resulted in physically perceptible characteristics, many others of which resulted in imperceptible changes.
Thus, morphological traits do not appear to closely correlate with short-term drought tolerance in switchgrass (Additional file 2: Tables S1, S2).
Unlike related tiger salamanders that undergo metamorphosis, axolotls retain larval morphological traits into adulthood and thus present an adult body plan that differs dramatically from the ancestral (metamorphic) form.
The most important Altiplano plant species thus has morphological traits in favour of protection and survival rather than productivity.
Demonstrating that morphological evolution follows pendulum mechanics is important from a biomechanical point of view because during suspensory locomotion some morphological traits could be decoupled from gravity, thus allowing independent adaptive morphological evolution of these two traits when compared to animals that move standing on their legs; i.e., as inverted pendulums.
Thus, selection on particular morphological traits may be accentuated in these species at all developmental stages due to their environmental condition.
Thus, genetic similarity, shared morphological traits, and their sympatric distributions further support the hypothesis of a hybridization event between the species related to X. maculatus and X. mixei.
Thus, the evolutionary conservation of morphological traits may link to the survival of the extant budding yeast in nature.
This may be explained by the fact that it is unlikely that the genetic markers used are linked to the morphological traits measured, and the two data types may thus represent different levels of diversity.
