Horizontally transferred "alien" genes such as genomic island were inferred using Alien Hunter (Vernikos and Parkhill 2006), which identifies atypical nucleotide compositions based on variable order motif distributions.
However, Sr40 for stem rust resistance on 2B chromosome transferred from 2G of T. timopheevii showed segregation distortion in one background but not the other [ 42], so the presence of SDRs may vary with sources and backgrounds of transferred alien fragments, which is supported by the results from the current study.
Floating litter also facilitates the transfer of alien species to new habitats.
The transfer of alien genes to crop plants using chromosome engineering has been attempted infrequently in tetraploid durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum).
The protocols and guidelines of the Code of Practice are a reliable practical tool that, if followed adequately, ensures responsible introduction and transfer of alien species.
no new treaty providing for the transfer of aliens from Federal, State, or local incarceration facilities to a foreign incarceration facility should permit the alien to refuse the transfer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, except as required by treaty, the transfer of an alien from a Federal, State, or local incarceration facility under an agreement of the type referred to in subsection (a) shall not require consent of the alien.
Chromosome engineering approaches have been used [ 4, 21- 24] to produce small alien transfers without linkage drag.
This is said because no escape is seen from the conclusion if the application of the prohibition is to depend solely upon the willingness of the creditor of a state, whether citizen or alien, to transfer, and the docility or cupidity of another state in accepting such transfer, that the provision will have no efficacy whatever.
In rice CWRs, high rates of self-pollination can be expected to result in low risk of alien gene transfer (Stewart et al. 2003).
