The presence of phenolic content confers O. europaea L. natural resistance to microbe (Gram negative, Gram positive) outbreak [32].
The composition of polysaccharides and their sulfation content confers structures on the cell surface which determine the binding of a number of ligands to the cell surface [4].
Aharoni et al. [ 15] reported that Arabidopsis plants overexpressing SHINE1 had a greater cuticular wax load than wild-type plants, and that this feature was associated with changes in alkane content conferring drought stress tolerance.
The most effective QTL was spotted on LG4 explaining 11.1% of the variation, whose higher value for total oil content was conferred by the allele from hybrid CI7041.
It has been demonstrated that accumulation of trehalose in rice plants results in increased soluble sugar content, which confers tolerance to different abiotic stresses.
These variations in genome content can confer important strain-specific geno- and phenotypes and assessment of such regions will add to the larger picture of evolutionary effects.
Transgenics with altered levels of triterpenes may be resistant to pests and increased saponin content will confer enhanced nutritional value to the plant.
Although HGTs contribute to bacterial adaptation by bringing in novel genes into the genome, the majority of transfers may be nearly neutral to the recipient, thus impacting the gene content without conferring any immediate benefits to the recipient organisms [ 7].
If repeat-associated regions in F. cylindrus are under weaker control by sRNAs, we could be seeing the effect of a mechanism to adapt to the harsh conditions of the Southern Ocean, where the algae have to cope with low temperatures, strong seasonality and nutrient limitation, hence diversifying gene content could confer an evolutionary advantage.
In conclusion, the authors argue that, based on available data, the use of the vaccine with reduced antigen content may confer substantial benefits in terms of reactogenicity when used as a booster in preschool children, while ensuring adequate levels of immunogenicity [ 23].
