Proteins encoded by early region (E1, E2, E3, E4) genes are involved in viral DNA replication, cell cycle modulation and defense system. The late region genes (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) encodes the viral structural proteins.

Efficiency of Gross primary production Trophic-level transfer efficiency appears to average around 10%, though there is much variation. In some marine food chains, for example, it can exceed 30%.

Deserts are not very efficient at converting huge amounts of incident energy from sunlight into plant biomass.  Most ecosystems based on phytoplankton have very low efficiencies, usually less than 0.5%.

Photosynthetic efficiency of an ecosystem as a whole varies between 1% and 2%.
