Sentence examples for phenotypic modifications from inspiring English sources

Genetic manipulation of bacteria is a procedure necessary to obtain new strains that express peculiar and defined genetic determinants or to introduce genetic variants responsible for phenotypic modifications.

This has caused a convergent set of phenotypic modifications across numerous different species, through a combination of relaxed natural selection, increased human selection, and correlated responses.

After the treatment with Au NPs, we observed dramatic phenotypic modifications in the subsequent generations of Drosophila, demonstrating their capability to induce mutagenic effects that may be transmitted to the descendants.

The ion bombardments in 34,000 rice seeds of the two famous Thai rice varieties resulted in broad-spectrum mutation induction found in 91 rice mutants with phenotypic modifications and grain qualities such as photoperiod insensitivity, short in stature and changes in size of rough seed and brown rice, color of brown rice, proximate compositions and antioxidant capacities.

And we think that the distinction between cosmic evolution and biological evolution might be as artificial as the distinction between microevolution (i.e., small changes over short time spans involving minor genetic and phenotypic modifications) and macroevolution (i.e., major changes over long periods of time involving many traits and significant transformations like speciation).

In particular, positive selection of proteinases and differences in energy metabolism between European and Asian A. crassus constitute a candidate phenotype relevant for phenotypic modification or contemporary divergent evolution as well as for the long term evolution of parasitism.

Altering the expression of genes encoding regulatory proteins controlling critical nodes in this hierarchy has potential for dramatic phenotypic modification.

To validate the hormonal modulation leading the root phenotypic modification, the expression of auxin-responsive genes (AUX/IAA) of rice were assessed by reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR.

To address this issue, we investigated the molecular and pathological basis for the phenotypic modification of mutant SOD1-expressing mice by ALS2 loss.

At a larger scale, the pairing process can therefore, directly or indirectly, lead to phenotypic modification of organisms [5]; it can also affect extinction rates of populations [6] and it could play an important role in speciation [e.g. 7].
