Reciprocal crosses

Biotechnology; Genetic engineering

Crosses between the same two strains, but with the sexes reversed; e.g., female A × male B and male A × female B.

Single-node culture

Biotechnology; Genetic engineering

Culture of separate lateral buds with each carrying a piece of stem tissue.

Sib-mating

Biotechnology; Genetic engineering

Crossing of siblings. Matings involving two individuals of the same parentage; brother-sister matings.

Microalgal culture

Biotechnology; Genetic engineering

Culture in bioreactors of microalgae; microalgae include seaweeds.

Genetic variation

Biotechnology; Genetic engineering

Differences between individuals attributable to differences in genotypes.

Ontogeny

Biotechnology; Genetic engineering

Developmental life history of an organism.

Browning

Biotechnology; Genetic engineering

Discoloration due to phenolic oxidation of freshly cut surfaces of explant tissue. In later stages of culture, such discoloration may indicate a nutritional or pathogenic problem, generally leading ...
