A condition in which heterozygotes are superior (on some scale of measurement) to either of the associated homozygotes.
Industry:Biotechnology
A condition of only partial fertility in plant zygotes; usually associated with translocations.
Industry:Biotechnology
A conical flat-bottomed laboratory flask with a narrow neck, designed by E. Erlenmeyer. Widely used for culturing micro-organisms.
Industry:Biotechnology
A conservation method that attempts to preserve the integrity of genetic resources by conserving them within the evolutionary dynamic ecosystems of their original habitat or natural environment. <i>cf ex situ</i> conservation.
Industry:Biotechnology
A conservation method which entails the actual removal of germplasm resources (seeds, pollen, sperm, individual organisms) from the original habitat or natural environment.
Industry:Biotechnology
A conserved adenine- and thymine-rich promoter sequence located 25-30 bp upstream of a gene, which is the binding site of RNA polymerase.
Industry:Biotechnology
A conserved sequence in prokaryotic mRNAs that is complementary to a sequence near the 5´ terminus of the 16S ribosomal RNA and is involved in the initiation of translation.
Industry:Biotechnology
A constant mutation rate that adds mutant genes to a population; repeated occurrences of mutations in a population.
Industry:Biotechnology
A continuous and open culture in which growth rate and cell density are maintained constant by a fixed rate of input of a growth-limiting nutrient.
Industry:Biotechnology
A continuous culture in which inflow of fresh medium is balanced by outflow of a corresponding volume of culture. Cells are constantly washed out with the outflowing liquid. In a steady state, the rate of cell wash-out equals the rate of formation of new cells in the system.
