Sentence examples for proportion of progeny from inspiring English sources

Although, according to our results, cross-fertilisation predominates, it has also been noted that these barriers are not enough to prevent self-fertilisation, resulting in a proportion of progeny that are the product of self-fertilisation.

We found that the insertional mutation reduced the levels of Zea m 1 in maize pollen, but had no effect on pollen viability, in vitro pollen tube growth or the proportion of progeny sired when small pollen loads are deposited onto stigmas.

In addition, several studies have shown for genes expressed during both stages of the life cycle that selection on the microgametophyte (e.g., for cold tolerance or herbicide resistance) can alter the proportion of progeny with the selected trait (e.g., [32], [42] [46]).

The variant leaf form associated with construct E08 was stable through vegetative propagation, and was transmitted to a proportion of progeny derived from self-pollination.

The model was fitted by weighted least squares, with the weight for a sire family equal to the proportion of progeny contributed by this sire.

Consistent with the presence of phenotypic heterogeneity in the cross, the proportion of progeny strains surviving the selection decreased with increasing galactose concentration (Table 3).

It was an unexpected finding that under conditions of abnormal CDK5 activation in our in vitro NPC model, the proportions of progeny coexpressing markers traditionally associated with proliferation or neuronal differentiation stages were more prominent than under control conditions.

In contrast, among control crosses (for which no source of Cas9 was introduced), a greater proportion of male progeny inherited the wild-type (receiver) chromosome than the NAx16 donor chromosome, presumably reflecting a fitness cost associated with the NAx16 allele (Fig. 2a, gray circles).

A proportion of the progeny from each cross was reared in a traditional hatchery environment, whereas the remaining fry were reared naturally in a contained side channel.

Previous theoretical studies of the evolution of incompatibility-inducing systems and their dynamics have found selection among parasites and hosts to favor variants that increase the proportion of infected progeny, i.e. by increasing transmission rates [21].

The genetic diversity of seed collections from small flowered species may be more vulnerable to cryptic processes, such as an elevated proportion of inbred progeny, which may compromise the long-term viability of forest restoration [63].
