The ability of rice to germinate under anoxia by extending the coleoptile is a highly unusual characteristic and a key feature underpinning the ability of rice seeds to establish in such a stressful environment.
Asking questions about how genomic characteristics underpin diversification is primarily a theoretical exercise one that works at solving a fundamental question in biology.
Clearly a dominant common characteristic underpinning the four breast-cancer signatures is closely related to the estrogen-receptor status of the tumor which is a main prognostic factor in breast cancer.
Table 4 demonstrates the triangulation of these three data sources to identify ten characteristics that emerged as underpinning a good interdisciplinary team.
The resultant hypotheses act as synthesised statements of findings around which a mid-range theoretical, contingent narrative can be developed summarising the characteristics of the evidence underpinning workforce development programmes.
Those confirmed will act as synthesised statements of findings around which a narrative can be developed summarising the nature of the context, mechanism and outcome links, and the characteristics of the evidence underpinning them.
Such variations in tumor bioenergetic characteristics are likely underpinned by genetic heterogeneity.
This paper discusses some key principles and characteristics that should underpin the SEA process if SEA is to contribute to the design of more sustainable policies and strategies, and explores the current state-of-the-art of SEA in Canada.
Genome size can constrain several characteristics that can underpin invasive success, including minimum generation time, seed mass, growth rate and specific leaf area (Leitch and Bennett 2007).
Thus, we can conclude that the serrated plastic flow strongly depends on the temporal characteristic of the atomic rearrangement underpinning plastic deformation: successive low degree of plastic deformation at high strain rate leads to less pronounced serrated flow, and intermittent high degree of plastic deformation at low strain rate results in more distinct serrated flow.
