The AET method requires that there is just one endogenous trait.
In practice, the estimates obtained under this set of assumptions could be treated as a lower bound of the true relationship since we might expect that the relationship between the unobservables and any potentially endogenous personality trait will be weaker than the relationship between the observables and the treatment.
Adding GMP discriminating targets (e.g. endogenous targets, GM-trait targets) to the initial screening can however greatly reduce the number of possible GMP.
Pigmentation-related traits influence endogenous vitamin D synthesis and may alter risk of prostate cancer.
Recent studies have also assessed their usefulness as ectopic modulators of endogenous proteases to introduce traits of agronomical value such as pathogen resistance or abiotic stress tolerance in leaf tissues [ 2], or to prevent unintended proteolysis of ectopically expressed biopharmaceuticals in plants used as vehicles for recombinant protein production [ 3].
This is only the second study to suggest that an endogenous patient-related characteristic, personality traits, is independently associated with PTSD and depressive symptoms after hospital discharge.
In the case of cancer, substantial evidence shows that the carcinogenic process is a multistage process driven by the interaction of exogenous carcinogenic exposures, genetic traits, and other endogenous factors.
The present study found that an endogenous patient characteristic, the personality trait pessimism, was associated with posttraumatic stress and depressive symptoms.
To gain a better understanding of Phytophthora pathogenicity, and the variation in this trait due to endogenous gene silencing of effectors, it will be crucial to experimentally determine which effectors are essential or functionally redundant.
The physiological processes that control the daily cycle of sleep and wake, hunger, activity levels, body temperature, melatonin level in the blood, and many other physiological traits are called the endogenous circadian rhythm.
