Industry:Agriculture
Relative growth rate; the increase in plant material per unit of material in a specified time.
Industry:Agriculture
A sequence of nucleotides that occurs more than once in a genome. Repeated sequences may be present in a few to many millions of copies. The individual repeated sequence may be only a few nucleotides in length up to several kilobases.
Industry:Agriculture
gene cloning, plasmid engineering, genetic engineering, biotechnology, gene therapy). The techniques by which genetic recombination is carried out in vitro and in vivo. It entails the breakage and rejoining of DNA molecules from different organisms and the production and isolation of the modified DNA or fragments thereof.
Industry:Agriculture
DNA molecule composed of segments from different individuals or species and formed by a combination of in vitro and in vivo manipulations, typically in bacteria. Genetically engineered DNA brings together new combinations of genes not found in nature.
Industry:Agriculture
Deoxyribonucleic acid. The molecule that is the repository of genetic information in all cellular organisms and many viruses. The information coded in DNA determines the structure and function of the organism.
Industry:Agriculture
Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. Method to separate DNA or proteins by altering the pH inside a gel. As the molecules migrate in the electric field, they encounter denaturing conditions, which slow down their mobility. Different molecules respond differently to the denaturation condition and therefore respond at a different severity of denaturant (resulting in a loss of mobility at a different point in the gel).
Industry:Agriculture
Family of plant-sucking insects characterized by the presence of a large movable spur at the apex of the hind tibia. They are usually slow moving and move sideward or backward. They stay at the basal parts of the rice plant. Examples are planthoppers.
Industry:Agriculture
A mechanical device developed by Frank Davis, Mississippi State University, USA, used to dispense insect larvae in artificial inoculation of plants.
