The novel intragenic approach to genetic engineering improves existing varieties by eliminating undesirable features and activating dormant traits.
A typical appearance of PC still prevailing in January is shown in Fig. 8D G, when the cell structure showed typical dormant traits as indicated by the missing starch grains.
Dr. Caicedo and her colleagues suspect the color is produced from a pigment that helps the seeds go dormant — a trait that's good for a weed but bad for a crop.
Loss of acid-fastness seems to be an important trait for non-replicating dormant cells from in vitro cultures or from tuberculous lesions and most of such cells would grow under favorable growth conditions with restoration of acid-fastness [50] [53].
When Garfield lay dying, Julia Sand warned his impending successor: Now your kindest opponents say: 'Arthur will try to do right' adding gloomily—'He won't succeed, though making a man President cannot change him.' Her own view was different—"Great emergencies awaken generous traits which have lain dormant half a life"—and it comported with the experience Arthur was already having.
An insufficient amount of chilling during the dormant period can seriously impact key phenological traits, notably time of budbreak, time and duration of flowering and fruit quality at harvest [ 5].
For example, the delayed production of dormant eggs for a seasonal diapause is a trait that may to warming waters and associated longer growth periods.
The microbe can lead to acute disease immediately or lie dormant before exploding into full-blown melioidosis decades later, a trait that once earned it the nickname "Vietnamese time bomb".
Interestingly, the activation of dormant cells is also associated with the enhancement of CSC-associated traits manifested by in vitro mammosphere assays and in vivo tumorigenesis assays.
Heroism may very well be the most important human trait that lives within every human being, because when you unleash that dormant little spark of heroism within you, to do something selfless, there's a very good chance you will ignite a fire in all the people around you.
Morphological traits measured include sclerophilly, leaf presence, leaf size, shape of leaf margins, hairiness, position of dormant buds (growth form), clonality, plant coverage, canopy structure, phenological deciduousness (drought resistance), and regeneration (reproduction type, pollination type, inflorescence position, and seed size).
