Company Profile:
Alleles that are functionally similar but structurally different.
Industry:Agriculture
The relationship between alleles in different parents. When the alleles of two parents belong to the same gene (locus), they are allelic; otherwise, non-allelic.
Industry:Agriculture
A test for determining whether changes occurred in the same gene so that complementation between genes is possible.
Industry:Agriculture
In Mendelian inheritance, a pair of alternative forms of a gene in which one may be dominant and the other recessive.
Industry:Agriculture
One of several possible mutational forms of a gene at a given genetic locus. One diploid individual can have a maximum of two forms (alleles), but there may be several alternate alleles in the species.
Industry:Agriculture
A soil with a pH value higher than 7.0; CaCO3 in the upper horizon from a few percent to 95%.
Industry:Agriculture
The quality, state, or degree of being alkaline.
Industry:Agriculture
The degree of spreading of six grains of milled rice in 10 ml 1.7% KOH for 23 h at room temperature or 30oC using a seven-point score (7=completely spread, and 1=no reaction). Gelatinization temperature of starch is estimated based on spreading value: low (6-7); intermediate (4-5); intermediate-high (3); and high (1-2).
Industry:Agriculture
Having a pH higher than 7.
Industry:Agriculture
A small part or portion of a given amount (such as 5 ml out of 100 ml solution).
