The phrase "and functional traits of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing characteristics or features that serve a specific purpose or function, often in scientific or academic contexts.
Example: "The study focuses on the ecological roles and functional traits of various plant species in the ecosystem."
Alternatives: "and functional characteristics of" or "and functional attributes of".
The transdifferentiation protocol described here could efficiently induced ATMCs to acquire molecular and functional traits of differentiated VSMCs.
Here, we examine the hypotheses that contemporary demographic connectivity and functional traits of P. perna populations are influenced by the tropical/subtropical biogeographic transition.
We thereafter tried to scoop out the genomic and functional traits of the genes processing retropseudogenes to elucidate their high expressivity.
The data presented here suggest that the phenotype and functional traits of human monocytes depend on the immune environment to which these cells are exposed.
For comparison, health and functional traits of dairy cattle, such as somatic cell count as indicator of mastitis, and female fertility, have mostly shown heritabilities of 0.01 0.14 [ 13].
Comparing the morphological and functional traits of several invading species, Lamarque et al. (2011) found that growth rate was more linked to tree species invasiveness than other traits, such as seedling survival, density, biomass and seed germination.
We conclude that our selection has isolated recombinant genomes including extensive stretches of sequence originating from the parental genomes and exhibiting functional traits of these parental genomes.
SNPs are currently used for a wide range of analyses: in genomic association studies to dissect production and functional traits [ 2, 3]; in prediction of (genomic) breeding values of livestock [ 4]; for estimation of genetic diversity and population genetic parameters [ 5] or to search for selection signatures in the genome [ 6].
The botanical composition of the shade canopy provides a large set of morphological and functional traits that can be used to optimize shade canopy design.
Physiological and genomic data show that each strain has different metabolic and functional traits that may reflect contrasting modes of life (Bayer et al. 2016).
Human activities in these landscapes have a strong effect on the land cover and exert a selective force on tree species and functional traits, hereby potentially shaping the distribution of ecosystem services in the landscape.
