Making crystals of a protein, as a key part of most methods used for determining a protein's three-dimensional structure.
Industry:Biotechnology
Male parthenogenesis, i.e., the development of a haploid embryo from a male nucleus. The maternal nucleus is eliminated or inactivated subsequent to fertilization of the ovum, and the haploid individual (referred to as androgenetic) contains in its cells the genome of the male gamete only. Androgenesis is detected by cytological staining.
Industry:Biotechnology
Many plant species contain phenolic compounds that blacken through oxidation. The process is initiated after plants are wounded. Phenolic oxidation may lead to growth inhibition or, in severe cases, to tissue necrosis and death. Antioxidants are incorporated into the sterilizing solution or isolation medium to prevent or reduce oxidative browning. <i>cf</i> activated charcoal.
Industry:Biotechnology
Materials used as food for growing micro-organism. The fermentation substrates and the trace materials needed, together with chemicals added to make the fermentation easier, form the culture medium.
Industry:Biotechnology
Mating between members of different populations (lines, breeds, races or species).
Industry:Biotechnology
Mating in which the partners are chosen on the basis of phenotypic similarity.
Industry:Biotechnology
Matings between individuals that have one or more ancestors in common, the extreme condition being self-fertilization, which occurs in many plants and some primitive animals.
Industry:Biotechnology
Mechanical separation of single cells or protoplasts thus allowing them to proliferate individually.
