It is however about three orders of magnitude higher than the single previously-reported value and this discrepancy is attributed at least partly to the high pressure gradient imposed in the previous study.
If we are correct in inferring that robust genotypes of virus φ6 tend to contain proteins which are relatively thermostable, one might predict that the positive relationship between robustness and evolvability is specific to elevated-temperature environments, such as the 45°C heat-shock selection imposed in the current study.
It is noted that the stringent selection criteria imposed in this study for differential expression would preclude certain genes, although present in the SAGE datasets and relevant to cancer development, from further analysis (see example below).
Subsequently, these probesets were not counted as down-regulated using the stringent criteria imposed in this study.
GmHsf-34, a member of subclass A2, played an important role in the response to the drought and heat stress treatments imposed in this study.
Trade-offs were quantified between individual tree size and stand growth across the thinning and fertilization levels imposed in this study, which will be useful in empirical and process-based modeling efforts for predicting thinning and fertilization responses of P. taeda.
This indicates that average foliar carbon balance was not significantly affected by the large fluctuations in temperature that were imposed in this study.
As only three high coverage gymnosperm genome assemblies – P. taeda [ 19], Picea abies [ 18] and Picea glauca [ 24] – are available, this may be due to the minimum requirement of four orthologs per group imposed in this study.
We also expected that there might be different mechanisms in responses to WD stress in the two pairs of NILs because they responded differently to WD treatments imposed in this study.
