Sentence examples for production populations from inspiring English sources

Tree breeding primarily involves selection of superior genotypes from breeding populations that are expected to improve a number of economic traits in the production populations.

Both approaches can provide insights and good quantification of what may be coming out of production populations when independent culling is applied to NKT's.

Quadratic effects (P < 0.041) were observed for total CH4 production, populations of M. barkeri, M. stadtmanae, M. ruminantium and M. smithii in response to NaHCO3 addition.

However, if breeding programmes do not select for stiffness then there is a risk to future product stiffness because "failing to score stiffness could result in low-stiffness selections becoming significant components of breeding or production populations" (Jayawickrama et al. 2009).

The developed prediction models could be used for selecting elite genotypes with unprecedented selection intensity for their inclusion in future seed production populations, and this can be accomplished without the creation of a single cross.

The assumption of "common environment" is not suitable in forestry as estimates of GxE, even within a single breeding zone, are high [ 44] and this motivated breeders to evaluate the performance of a specific genotype or family across different environments to identify generalists for their inclusion in seed production populations [ 45].

Key model parameters, such as agricultural land use and production, population growth, deforestation and forest product consumption rates were calibrated against historical rates.

In 1998, concerned about crucial problems in Asia of food production, population explosion and environmental destruction, the Japanese photojournalist Hiroji Kubota went to various Asian countries to bring their troubles to the eyes of the Western world.

Non-key traits are best selected from within the production population rather than the breeding population.

An additional advantage of this approach would be that only trees among the prospective production population need be assessed for NKTs of interest, making considerable cost savings.

However, specific seedlots from the production population could be targeted to minimise the number of heartwood rings using an independent-culling approach.
