Genetic engineering
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.
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 ...
