"They clearly confer benefits," said Dr. A. Elizabeth Arnold, a tropical ecologist at Duke University and the lead author, speaking of the fungi.
These phenomena clearly confer novel material properties on magnetic layered structures with respect to the (magneto- transport and the magneto- transportell andmagnetheynamagnetostatic
For natural viral infections of D. melanogaster that cause pathology, such as DCV, resistance to viral infection would clearly confer Wolbachia-infected D. melanogaster a significant fitness advantage in the face of viral infection.
Therefore, while pFab over-expression clearly conferred triclosan resistance, it also appeared to confer a requirement for the biocide.
But, he goes on, cooking clearly conferred an evolutionary advantage in what was already a very toxic environment.
The capacity to tolerate or even relish change clearly confers survival benefits: all else being equal, our ancestors flourished because they paid close attention to the new – new threats and new opportunities – rather than just wishing they'd go away).
Similarly, the finding that OsRFPv-6 clearly confers salt and dehydration stress tolerance and interacts with aquaporin as well as ABC transporters may also support this hypothesis.
In studies of human tumour xenografts in mice we were able to demonstrate that decitabine treatment reduced the level of methylation of the hMLH1 gene promoter and that this was associated with re-expression of MLH1 in a small proportion of the tumour cells at doses that clearly conferred increased sensitisation and were well tolerated.
It clearly can confer benefit, but it depends how it is done, and for whom.
The role of mutations in the insecticide target sites in conferring resistance has been clearly established.
