Sentence examples for selective domestication from inspiring English sources

Increased in seed size is a remarkable result of selective domestication and cultivation [3], [62].

Despite selective domestication and reduced genetic diversity, we find functional equivalence in all farm fish gamete traits compared with their wild ancestral strain.

By contrast with the studies in these aquaculture species, however, farm Atlantic salmon have been subjected to almost 50 years of selective domestication since the 1970s (Tilseth et al. 1991) so that genetic influences from relaxed selection, directed domestication and reduced genetic diversity could be influential phenomena.

The superiority of these plantation populations, especially in growth and stem quality, is possibly due to selection and domestication, e.g. selective thinning.

Plant accessions from wild or locally adapted landrace genepools conserved in genebanks contain a rich repertoire of alleles that have been left behind by the selective processes of domestication, selection and cross-breeding that paved the way to today's elite cultivars.

The thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) mutation could be involved in regulating photoperiod control of reproduction (Yoshimura et al. 2003; Hanon et al. 2008; Nakao et al. 2008), affecting development, growth, and behavior in the domestic chicken with selective advantages during domestication.

Another hypothesis held that the four prototypes originated from a single wild species and that all different body types were entirely a result of selective breeding after domestication.

Selective breeding during domestication can lead to rapid and dramatic changes in phenotype [1].

Their results suggested that at least three genes (bt2, ae1 and su1) have experienced significant selective pressure of domestication and/or genetic improvement to influence the yield and/or grain quality in maize.

Human selective pressures from domestication are believed to have maintained this phenotype in many of today's popular cultivars [ 2].

We found genetic parallelism associated with the selective pressure during domestication and probably recent improvement of chicken.
