How can you use “cultivars” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Furthermore, cultivars are grown in agricultural environments that are generally more uniform than the environments in which wild species grow, and this tends to further narrow the gene pool.
Unusual or extreme phenotypes, such as large fruit or seed size, intense color, sweet flavor, or pleasing aroma are often selected by humans and maintained in their cultivars for aesthetic reasons, while synchronous ripening or inhibition of seed shattering (a dispersal mechanism) are selected to facilitate harvest.
The genetic identities and relationships of mulberry plants including cultivars, diploids and polyploids have been determined using RAPD technology [ 5 6 7 ] . Xiang et al.
Two HRWW cultivars commercially grown in the Great Plains of United States were the primary genotypes investigated: 'Winoka' released in South Dakota [ 23 ] and 'TAM W-101' released in Texas [ 24 ] . According to South Dakota Experiment Station records, Winoka (northern selected) generally has a greater stand survival rank than TAM W-101 (southern selected) in the Northern Great Plains [ 25 ] . Therefore, Winoka was designated as freeze resistant (FR) and TAM W-101 as freeze susceptible (FS), a modification of the "cold resistance" terminology previously reported for HRWW cultivars [ 26 27 2 ] . Water status of four additional northern selected cultivars were also evaluated: 'Norstar' [ 28 ] , 'Rose' [ 29 ] , 'Arapahoe' [ 30 ] , and 'YTO-117,' an experimental line from Montana selected in 1956 (James Berg, personal communication).
If autumn temperatures impede water uptake, causing greater reduction of tissue water content in northern HRWW plants as suggested by Limin and Fowler [ 15 ] , then we hypothesized that less water would be removed from soil at 2°C by northern-selected than by southern cultivars.
