p300/CBP is also involved in stress response pathways, in which adaptation to conditions such as hyperosmolarity involves changes in gene expression.
Second-line defense genes act largely in the adaptation to conditions where zinc availability is insufficient to maintain optimal cell function.
In addition, there is also adaptation to conditions of captivity resulting in reduced fitness of populations for eventual release into the wild (Frankham 2008).
This particular model of agro-pastoralism has risen in adaptation to prevailing conditions and seems well suited to this environment.
The key to the completion of the life cycles of S. kotschyana in harsh saline soils may be hidden in changes of its osmo-protectants, but there is currently no information about the interaction between osmotic adjustment and water relations in adaptation to saline conditions.
Most bacteria carry extrachromosomal self-replicating elements that aid in adaptation to local conditions in their environment.
Some of the genes in this cluster (Table S7) are likely to be involved in adaptation to starvation conditions and/or for long-term survival in the absence of nutrients.
As discussed below, GEIs play an important role in bacterial genome evolution in general and in adaptation to changing conditions, in clinical, industrial or natural environments.
Overall, these results might open the way towards the identification of important variants involved in adaptation to tropical conditions and in particular to resistance to tropical infectious diseases.
Such results could also help to better understand proteins evolution, notably in terms of physico-chemical and structural properties in adaptation to various conditions.
