The DNA sequences extending either side of a specific sequence.
Industry:Biotechnology
The double-stranded DNA complement of an mRNA sequence; synthesized <i>in vitro</i> from a mature RNA template using reverse transcriptase (to create a single strand of DNA from the RNA template) and DNA polymerase (to create the double-stranded DNA). Preparation of cDNAs is often the first step in cloning DNA sequences of interest. Used as specific and sensitive probes in hybridization studies, because cDNAs usually do not include regulatory or other controlling sequences, and so they can be used to identify (probe) and isolate genes and their associated sequences from genomic DNA.
Industry:Biotechnology
The effect of a rootstock on a scion (and vice versa) in which a scion on one kind of rootstock performs differently than it would on its own roots or on a different rootstock.
Industry:Biotechnology
The effect of non-living factors which can harm living organisms. These non-living factors include drought, extreme temperatures, pollutants, etc.
Industry:Biotechnology
The effect on the developmental history of a plant or its parts exposed to a given set of growth conditions or to a change in the environment.
Industry:Biotechnology
The egg mother cell; it undergoes two meiotic divisions (oogenesis) to form the egg cell. The primary oocyte is before completion of the first meiotic division; the secondary oocyte is after completion of the first meiotic division.
Industry:Biotechnology
The electrophoretic transfer of macromolecules (DNA, RNA or protein) from a gel, in which they have been separated, to a support matrix, such as a nitrocellulose sheet. A transfer usually used in techniques such as Southern and northern blotting.
Industry:Biotechnology
The elimination of a plasmid from its host cell. Many agents which interfere with DNA replication, e.g., ethidium bromide, can cure plasmids from either bacterial or eukaryotic cells.
Industry:Biotechnology
The elimination or inhibition of the activity of surface-adhering micro-organisms. <i>cf</i> disinfection.
Industry:Biotechnology
The embryonic meristem that is the source of organ initials or foundation cells.
