Sentence examples for functions and traits from inspiring English sources

Interactions between members of the bacterial symbiont community can support holobiont functions and traits that cannot be supplied by single taxa in isolation, for example, synergistic effects between pairs of bacterial taxa increase fungal resistance in the freshwater polyp Hydra compared to polyps colonized by single bacterial taxa (Fraune et al., 2015).

From the candidate selected genes identified in maize (Wright et al., 2005; Yamasaki et al., 2005), a homology search provided clues to the functions and traits under selection.

However, no comparisons have been done in terms of differences in oil, protein and seed related functions and traits, especially at the genomic level.

In MaizeGDB's initial incarnation (as MaizeDB; 1990 2000), comprehensive literature annotation was one of the central foci of the database resource with the main goal being to capture experimentally confirmed gene functions and trait inheritance, along with extensive community data documenting genetic maps and molecular markers (3; aka mapping probes).

Many traits serve more than one function, and traits interact in the sense of trade-offs, patterns that reflect the economy of fungal design.

At both local and landscape levels, farm management is the main driver of land cover change influencing ecosystem functions, processes and traits.

Given the large genome size and the lack of sequence information and genomic resources in rye, identification and targeted isolation of genes underlying agronomic traits and understanding of gene function and trait variation is greatly hampered.

RoBuST also has a unique data collection of Alliaceae/Apiaceae-specific gene function and trait annotations, molecular taxonomy data, genetic linkage maps, markers and biosynthetic pathways as well as an exhaustive collection of plant splicing data.

A current challenge in rice research is still to unravel the functions of all genes in the genome, which would ultimately facilitate the identification of genes for agronomically important traits and the linkage between gene functions and specific traits across different varieties.

Indeed, climatic demands have been shown to affect a variety of psychological functions and behavioural traits in modern human populations19, which are influencing personality traits on a broader geographical scale.

Identifying candidate genes for induced mutations or Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL), or establishing parallels between gene functions and specific traits across different species and varieties is difficult and often a rate-limiting step.
