31 examples of Breeders in a sentence

Now, to create these varieties, breeders have used many different genetic techniques over the years.
Breeders have also used other types of genetic techniques, such as random mutagenesis, which induces uncharacterized mutations into the plants.
Now, today, breeders have even more options to choose from.
Breeders there developed a rice variety carrying the Sub1 gene using another genetic technique called precision breeding.
Originally, they are pig breeders.
The Zaraeeb, that’s how they call themselves, which means the pig breeders, have been collecting the garbage of Cairo and sorting it in their own neighborhood for decades.
So, for example, rats are incredibly responsive breeders.
If you want to conserve seed for a long term and you want to make it available to plant breeders and researchers, you dry it and then you freeze it.
And breeder technology is fast breeders.
Of all the movies in the history of movies I can't imagine someone sitting down and saying, I want to spend X amount of dollars (or pounds sterling) to remake that flawed classic film called "Breeders."
Was the script for the 1986 version of "Breeders" so inspiring that these producers felt it had to be done again and this time done correctly?
Of course, there was always a commercial side to Christmas, if only for breeders of poultry and makers of greeting cards.
High demand has led to the rise of large-scale commercial puppy breeders, who frequently keep dogs in horrible conditions.
Sometimes called “genetic modification,” GE enables plant breeders to make existing crop plants do new things – such as conserve water.
But as the court’s ruling sinks in, commercial breeders and animal rights groups face a crucial question: could the creation of a legal market for farmed horns curb a poaching pandemic that claims some 1,500 wild rhinos annually?
Breeders and traders like Hume concede that demand “is not going to die down anytime soon.”
Only the most conscience-stricken consumer would ensure that horns they purchase are sourced from licensed breeders.
Breeders are convinced that with permitting systems and detection technologies, legal horns could be identified, law enforcement could prevent illegal horns from being trafficked, and domestic trading could reduce the stress on wild populations.
Finally, the pro-farming argument assumes that commercial breeders will eventually supply horn at lower prices than poachers.
Commercial breeders dispute that their operations amount to “captivity,” and Hume’s model is meant to replicate wild conditions as much as possible.
Yet if farmed solutions were ever to be seen as an alternative to wild harvesting, other breeders would need to replicate such conditions.
While breeders are eager to defend their trade, economists have debunked the myth that a legal domestic market in rhino horns will conserve wild populations.
That may be acceptable to breeders, but it defies reason for those trying to conserve wild rhinos.
But that reflects science-based research and old-fashioned technological ingenuity on the part of farmers, plant breeders, and agribusiness companies, not irrational opposition to modern insecticides, herbicides, genetic engineering, and “industrial agriculture.”
Twentieth-century plant breeders learned to accelerate genetic changes in plants with chemicals and radiation – a rather shotgun approach to the genetic improvement of plants.
Unfortunately, as a result of the Seed Treaty, countries increasingly treat their genetic resources like a dog treats a bone: no sharing allowed, even among their own scientists and plant breeders, while most international exchanges of genetic resources have been shut down over the last 12 years.
Put another way, "nature" didn't give us seedless grapes, the tangelo (a tangerine-grapefruit hybrid), and fungus-resistant strawberries: farmers and plant breeders did.
A good example is Canola--the genetically improved rapeseed developed by Canadian plant breeders a half-century ago.
Breeders routinely use radiation or chemical mutagens on seeds to scramble a plant’s DNA and generate new traits.
Unless breeders adapt to the new, coming European era, Romanian pigs, at least those bred on thousands and thousands of small farms scattered across the countryside, seem doomed.
