Established in October 1945 with the objective of eliminating hunger and improving nutrition and standards of living by increasing agricultural productivity, FAO coordinates the efforts of governments and technical agencies in programs for developing agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and land and ...
A continuous culture in which inflow of fresh medium is balanced by outflow of corresponding volumes of spent medium. Cells are separated mechanically from outflowing medium and added back to the culture.
Industry:Biotechnology
A copy (duplicate) of a functional gene that, as a result of mutation following duplication, can no longer function.
Industry:Biotechnology
A copy of a functional gene which has no promoter, no introns and which, consequently, is not itself transcribed. Pseudo-genes are thought to originate from the integration into the genome of cDNA copies synthesized from mRNA molecules by reverse transcriptase. Pseudo-genes therefore have a poly (dA) sequence at their 5´ ends. Because they are not subject to any evolutionary pressure to maintain their coding potential, pseudo-genes accumulate mutations and often have stop codons in all three reading frames.
Industry:Biotechnology
A cross between parents differing in only one trait or in which only one trait is being considered.
Industry:Biotechnology
A culture in which the majority of the cells are dividing at the same time or are at a specific phase of the cell cycle.
Industry:Biotechnology
A culture initiated from a single cell, usually from suspension cultures of single cells or small aggregates plated on solidified medium. The latter may incorporate a selective agent, from which tolerant or resistant individual cell lines or cell clones can be selected.

Industry:Biotechnology
A culture made of a plant tissue and one organism (such as a nematode) or an obligate parasite/micro-organism (such as a fungus). Dual culture techniques are used for a variety of purposes, including assessing host-parasite interactions and the production of axenic cultures.
Industry:Biotechnology
A culture maintained in the growth chamber with no agitation movement. The antonym is shake culture.
