- Company Profile:
Transposable element in either prokaryote or eukaryote. May contain its own transposase enzyme gene. Usually is flanked by direct or indirect repeat sequences.
Industry:Agriculture
To remove seedlings from the nursery (seedbed) and plant them in the field either by hand or machine.
Industry:Agriculture
The process by which plants release water vapor to the atmosphere through surface pores (stomatal openings) in the plant foliage in response to atmospheric demand. The water of transpiration usually reaches a maximum value in the afternoon and a minimum value just before sunrise. Soil moisture content and plant characters, such as location and distribution of stomata, reduction of transpiration surface (leaf rolling), and plant age, affect transpiration rate.
Industry:Agriculture
Nutrients moved to growing points during seed germination.
Industry:Agriculture
Transmission of virus in the insect from one generation to the next through the egg.
Industry:Agriculture
Transmitting light but causing sufficient diffusion to eliminate perception of distinct images; intermediate between clear and opaque.
Industry:Agriculture
The opposite of chalkiness; measured with a Riken-Sanno Rice Meter which measures transmitted light through a fixed volume of rice grains, one model for brown rice, another for milled rice.
Industry:Agriculture
1). Genetic. Change in position of a segment of a chromosome to another location in the same or a different chromosome. 2). Physiological. The movement of assimilates (carbohydrates or nutrients) from one plant organ to another in response to stress or ontogeny. 3). Breakage and reunion of chromatid at a different point of the chromosome.
Industry:Agriculture
The process by which the genetic information of RNA is used to specify and direct the synthesis of proteins. Occurs in ribosomes.
Industry:Agriculture
A virus disease of rice transmitted by green leafhoppers (Nephotettix nigropictus, N. cincticeps, and N. virescens). The characteristic symptoms are yellowing of leaves, reduced tillering, and stunting. The disease is similar to tungro since it is transmitted by the same insect.
