When gene flow really matters: gene flow in applied evolutionary biology
In the last half century, gene flow has moved from relative obscurity to a well-recognized component of evolution. Gene flow, the successful transfer of alleles from one population to another, is now known to vary considerably among species, populations, and individuals as well as over time. It frequently occurs at rates sufficient to play an important evolutionary role for populations of both ...
متن کاملAortic stenosis: flow matters.
The presence of a low transvalvular pressure gradient (<40 mmHg) in conjunction with a small aortic valve area (AVA ≤1 cm) is a challenging situation as it raises uncertainty about the actual severity of aortic stenosis (AS) and therefore about the indication of aortic valve replacement (AVR) if the patient is symptomatic. This lowgradient ‘severe’ (small AVA) AS entity may in fact be related t...
متن کاملMeasuring Gene Flow in the Cultivation of Transgenic Barley.
Genetic engineering is becoming a useful tool in the improvement of plants and plant-based raw materials. Varieties with value-added traits are developed for nonfood use in industrial and medical production, and different production lines must be kept separate. For good management practices, knowledge of relevant gene flow parameters is required. In the present study, pollen-mediated dispersal ...
متن کاملControl of pollen-mediated gene flow in transgenic trees.
Pollen elimination provides an effective containment method to reduce direct gene flow from transgenic trees to their wild relatives. Until now, only limited success has been achieved in controlling pollen production in trees. A pine (Pinus radiata) male cone-specific promoter, PrMC2, was used to drive modified barnase coding sequences (barnaseH102E, barnaseK27A, and barnaseE73G) in order to de...
متن کاملGene flow scenarios with transgenic maize in Mexico.
Maize diversity is widespread in Mexico and it has been stewarded by campesinos in small communities until the present. With the arrival of transgenic maize, the objective of this study is to analyze possible scenarios that could result if genetically modified maize were not regulated and openly available in Mexico. By applying a simple logistic model based on the conditions of maize production...
