The selection includes both single-trait events (e.g. maize MON810) and stacked varieties with different combined events (e.g. maize NK603 × MON810).
Documenting the full range of impacts on the environment and public health associated with the Bt Cry proteins biosynthesized inside Bt-transgenic plants remains a challenging and largely ignored task, especially given the recent move toward multiple Bt protein, stacked-trait events.
The physical rules in the Territories are curious: time and distance have different meanings (with the alternate world being more akin to a compressed version of the United States), and everybody from one world has "twinner" in the other: sharing some of each other's physical traits, life events and character.
They also reveal a bigger role for a bundle of time-varying factors than any single time-varying trait or event.
Detection of either element requires additional assays for identification of specific traits or events [ 5].
Availability heuristics employ readily accessible information to judge the frequency, probability, and causality of traits and events.
In the existing literature, such combinations are referred to as "stacked" or "pyramided" traits or events [ 1].
Because decisions result from the accessibility of perceived and/or retrieved information, these simple rules of thumb may be corrupted by inaccurate trait or event base rates under the control of subjective factors.
When traits or events used for judgments are unrepresentative or provide only indefinite dimensions for categorization, such as level of mating fitness and availability, the heuristic may become a nonnormative guide to decision making.
Rieseberg et al. [ 4] found a higher fraction of antagonistic QTL in intraspecific v. interspecific crosses, morphological traits compared to life history traits, and developmental events when compared to all other traits, but did not compare the fraction of antagonistic QTL in traits under abiotic v. biotic selection.
Fertility is a compound trait of many events leading up to successful calving and subsequent lactation.
