Maize is a good model system for cereal crop genetics and development because of its rich genetic heritage and well-characterized morphology.
Such rich genetic variation gives them what one expert has called an "intrinsic evolvability," a capacity to adapt quickly to new circumstances within new hosts.
Hence, Barack Obama, whose mother was, in Obama's words, "as white as milk", is labeled a 'black candidate', rather than being recognized as a child of two continents with a rich genetic heritage.
Their rich genetic resources offer means to engineer metabolic pathways for synthesis of valuable bio-based products.
This record level production and productivity is due to the availability and exploitation of rich genetic diversity existing in rice germplasm of India.
Genome-wide association studies have identified a rich genetic signature of disease risk in patients with IBD, consisting of at least 163 genetic loci.
The average number of alleles in each locus was 8.9, suggesting that there were very rich genetic variances among the prime core collection.
Today, the breed population is small, but has been noted by researchers for its rich genetic diversity.
These species are commonly distributed in Brunei, and together with other species like D. testudinarum and D. dulcis, represent rich genetic diversity.
Many of the drugs in use today were originally uncovered in microbes; recent progress in mining the rich genetic resource of non-culturable microbes has led to the discovery of new genes, enzymes, and natural products.
Foxtail millet and green foxtail populations have rich genetic diversity and worldwide distribution [65] [67].
