Water released by a cell when freezing occurs in intercellular spaces. <i>cf</i> bound water.
Industry:Biotechnology
Water which is free of most inorganic (not completely free, since Na is present in ample quantities) and most organic compounds.
Industry:Biotechnology
Water-soluble blue, purple and red flavonoid pigments found in vacuoles of cells.
Industry:Biotechnology
When all of the chemical components of a plant tissue culture medium are fully known and defined. <i>cf</i> undefined; organic complex.
Industry:Biotechnology
When cell numbers constantly increases. The linear phase is located between the exponential growth and the deceleration phases.
Industry:Biotechnology
When duplex DNA is heated, it dissociates into single strands. When the temperature is lowered, complementary strands tend to anneal or re-nature. The extent of re-naturation depends on the product of DNA concentration in moles of nucleotides per litre, and time in seconds. A graph showing the proportion of re-natured DNA against cot is known as a cot curve. The cot at which half the DNA has re-natured is the half-cot, a parameter indicating the degree of complexity of the DNA.
Industry:Biotechnology
When some individuals in a population have a specific genotype that causes an abnormality but are not affected.
Industry:Biotechnology
When the growth rate of one part of an organism differs from that of another part or of the rest of the body.
Industry:Biotechnology
