Histopathology from the posterior and lateral Barzell zones was disregarded, as this predominantly represented the peripheral zone.
The 95 V-specific differentially-expressed genes predominantly represented the "Response to Stress" category, indicating that late defoliation induces berry stress.
Since the reverse transcriptase begins from the 3' end of the mRNA, incomplete cDNAs predominantly represent the 3' end of the gene, and therefore, intron loss preferentially occurs in the 3' end [ 2, 3].
While the a-waves of dark-adapted ERG responses reflect the activity of rod photoreceptors, the b-waves predominantly represent the activities of the second-order neurons (bipolar cells) in the retina.
Consistent with the model, the attentional deficits observed in ADHD fall along a single normal continuum extending into the healthy population, with patients with ADHD predominantly representing the lower end of the distribution.
The upregulated genes predominantly represented the following functional categories: stress response, carbon compound and carbohydrate metabolism, metabolite transport, amino acid metabolism, ABA response and proline biosynthesis (Additional file 2: Table S1).
As a result of this selection bias, themes identified in this study are likely to predominantly represent the views of older people with relatively high SES and relatively favorable oral health attitudes.
The NDR genes with the greatest fold change in expression compared to C in both treatments (Table 3) predominantly represented the functional categories "Photosynthesis" and "Response to stress" (Additional file 3) indicating that defoliation delays the switch-down of photosynthetic activity and the oxidative burst that marks the onset of ripening [ 31].
Activation of mTOR was evaluated with an antibody targeting the mTOR serine 2448 phospho-site, predominantly represented by the mTORC1, the indirect downstream target of Akt [ 21].
The high-frequency component of heart rate variability depends on vagal activity, while the low-frequency power predominantly represents sympathetic modulation (30, 31).
