Sentence examples for no domestication from inspiring English sources
Species were crudely ranked from no domestication to high domestication in an increasing order, according to the level of alteration in the plant as compared to ancestral wild plants (i.e. maize got the highest level of domestication, and wild pines the lowest. Triticum aestivum got a relatively high level due to its hybrid origins).
To date, no domestication genes have been identified in the date palm.
The Bovinae subfamily is a useful group in which to study molecular evolution as it encompasses several domestic species and a number of wild relatives that have experienced very little or no domestication, which all diverged from a common ancestor ~10 15MYA.
This analysis was performed using (a) all markers (100 cM distance was used for all markers located in linkage groups where no domestication loci and QTLs were mapped: B5, B9 and B10); and (b) only markers located in chromosomes where genes and QTLs related to domestication have been detected.
Five distance classes were considered (Fig. 4): ≤ 5 cM (average distance 3·1 cM, nine markers), > 5 and ≤ 15 cM (average distance 10·0 cM, 11 markers), > 15 and ≤ 30 cM (average distance 22·6 cM, 11 markers), > 30 cM (average distance 53·0 cM, 15 markers) and markers located in linkage groups where no domestication QTLs or genes have been detected (class 100, 24 markers).
