Sentence examples for symbiotic functions from inspiring English sources
Indeed, the extraordinary diversity and richness of symbiotic functions has led to a growing understanding of how the host's internal ecology confers an ever-evolving identity.
For instance, population-density-dependent gene induction by N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) influence symbiotic functions such as nodulation, nitrogen fixation, and surface polysaccharide production as well as several aspects of growth including plasmid transfer and stationary phase adaptation [8], [26] for reviews).
Symbiotic functions, specified by the nod, nol, nif and fix genes, are mainly encoded by a single plasmid (p42d in R. etli and pRL10 in R. leguminosarum), but other symbiosis-related genes are located on other plasmids and in the chromosome [1], [8].

In addition, at least half of the pathways towards the biosynthesis of essential amino acids, its proposed symbiotic function, are completely or partially lost.
Taken together, the LCO responsiveness and its spatial expression pattern in nodule primordia, nodule meristem and infection zone strongly support a symbiotic function of MtD27.
