- Company Profile:
The chromosome nucleic acid, predominantly DNA but at times RNA, that carries the information for the synthesis of proteins and other nucleic acids.
Industry:Agriculture
Any gene whose presence can be readily detected by its phenotypic expression and which is used to locate other genes. Also detectable RFLP used to identify a specific linked gene or an individual carrying a gene of interest.
Industry:Agriculture
Any association of genes in inheritance that exceeds what is expected from the independent assortment due to their being located on the same chromosome. Linkage is assessed by the tendency of genes to remain together during recombination.
Industry:Agriculture
An interdisciplinary and problem-oriented approach to improve rice varieties by testing, research, and breeding.
Industry:Agriculture
The condition in which successive generations of a population contain the same genotypes in the same proportions with respect to particular genes or combinations of genes.
Industry:Agriculture
Technologies used to isolate genes from an organism, manipulate them in the laboratory, and insert them stably into another organism. It refers to all of the techniques used to manipulate DNA, including gene isolation and cloning, gene splicing, plasmid construction, and transformation.
Industry:Agriculture
Changes in the gene frequencies of a population when the size of sample chosen for rejuvenation is small. Genetic drift leads to a loss of certain genotypes in the population.
Industry:Agriculture
The genetic variability present in a population or in a species.
Industry:Agriculture
Collection, maintenance, and preservation of all segments of germplasm in a crop species and its wild relatives.
