Here, we combined a large-scale visual survey for undefined atypical palm seedling phenotypes coupled with active selection for seeds with twin embryos to assemble a sub-population of seedlings enriched for H/DHs.
The length of the root (or the hypocotyl) in populations of seedlings behaves as a typical quantitative trait: it has a frequency distribution around a population average of in this case genetically identical plants.
Large accumulations of seed in soil, combined with low emergence and survival rates, can account for the high population densities of seedlings sometimes observed following disturbance.
We then tested these potential effects of peccaries by examining the spatial structure and population dynamics of seedlings and saplings around another important food source, the Myristicaceae.
Each population of 15 seedlings was divided into two groups of ten and five seedlings before collecting RNA samples.
First, a large population of treated seedlings was pre-screened for putative tetraploid lines by morphological markers in the present study.
Subsequently, the CA×CF map was extended using a larger population of 213 seedlings and new AFLP, SCAR and SSR markers were added to the existing AFLP framework.
To address this issue, we employed a large 'Royal Gala' × 'Braeburn' population of 572 seedlings replicated over sites in three climatically diverse apple-growing regions in New Zealand.
Of the final 10 common SNPs, 7 were within repetitive sequences, making it difficult to sequence a specific copy, and 3 were undetectable in the small population of dms4-1 seedlings tested.
