Established in October 1945 with the objective of eliminating hunger and improving nutrition and standards of living by increasing agricultural productivity, FAO coordinates the efforts of governments and technical agencies in programs for developing agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and land and ...
Reaction conditions - notably temperature, salt concentration(s) and pH - that dictate the annealing of single-stranded DNA/DNA, DNA/RNA and RNA/RNA hybrids. At high stringency, duplexes form only between strands with perfect one-to-one complementarity; lower stringency allows annealing between strands with some degree of mismatch between bases.
Industry:Biotechnology
Red to yellow pigments responsible for the characteristic colour of many plant organs or fruits, such as tomatoes, carrots, etc. Oxidation products of carotene are called xanthophylls. Carotenoids serve as light-harvesting molecules in photosynthetic assemblies and also play a role in protecting prokaryotes from the deleterious effects of light.
Industry:Biotechnology
Reduction in plant growth or development (dwarfing, stunting) resulting from an abnormal condition associated with a disease or nutritional stress.
Industry:Biotechnology
Reduction in vigour, yield, etc., of a population that is commonly seen as the level of inbreeding increases. The traits that show greatest inbreeding depression are those that are most closely associated with viability and reproductive ability.
Industry:Biotechnology
Referring in chemistry to compounds containing carbon, many of which have been in some manner associated with living organisms.
Industry:Biotechnology
Referring to a membrane, through which different substances diffuse at different rates; some substances may be unable to diffuse through such a membrane.
Industry:Biotechnology
Referring to the genetic code, the codons have the same meaning, with minor exceptions, in virtually all species.
Industry:Biotechnology
Refers to a chimera with tissue of one genotype partly surrounded by that of another genotype.
Industry:Biotechnology
Refers to gamma () particles (positively charged) and beta (ß) particles (negatively charged), electrons, protons and neutrons. In plant tissue culture, these particles are used to produce mutant cells or organisms.
