In this study, we evaluated the panicle blast resistance of populations derived from a cross between Miyazakimochi and the Bikei 22 cultivar, which is susceptible to both leaf and panicle blast.
Results are in agreement with a positive effect of allelic richness on the resistance of populations to environmental stress, and suggest a positive effect of the interaction between genotypic and allelic richnesses on their resilience.
Few studies have linked this form of resistance to population dynamics in natural microbial populations.
The first eigenvector of a G-matrix represents the line of least genetic resistance of a population, and thus G can be used to predict the evolutionary potential and trajectory of a population [ 11].
Possible explanations include a lower concentration of organisms in the soil, less likelihood of exposure, and greater resistance of the population to infection.
Therefore, other reasons, still unknown to our knowledge, may explain the low levels of resistance of Anopheles population to deltamethrin in the district of Ifangni.
To specifically evaluate the resistance of the population to elevated CO2, only hatched larvae of the 10 high CO2 replicates were sampled for genetic analyses.
The observed reduction in scrapie prevalence is likely to be due to two causes: the increasing genetic resistance of the population and culling of scrapie flocks.
Boles et al. demonstrated that P. aeruginosa undergoes genetic diversification during short-term biofilm growth, which might allow increased resistance of the population to environmental stresses [ 60].
Tomcod from throughout the estuary are exposed to and bioaccumulate these contaminants, and the resistance of this population is consistent with an estuary-wide exposure to elevated levels of these contaminants.
In this study, arabidopsis genotypic diversity enhanced ecological resistance of the population to nutrient stress and the combination of nutrient and heat stress shown by an increase in yield and yield stability compared with the average monoculture.
