A trademark term for a high throughput closed tube assay to detect specific sequences in PCR products.

The ???template??? DNA that is used for the initial reaction of a molecular marker analysis.

A test for viability in which moist seeds are soaked in a solution of triphenyl tetrazolium chloride.

The process of beating plants with a machine or by hand to separate the seeds.

The detection of allelic variation at genes of known basic sequence by hybridization tests on microarrays using large series of sequence-overlapping probes.

A recognizable quality or attribute resulting from interaction of a gene or a group of genes with the environment.

Genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the introduction uptake and expression of foreign DNA.

A gene used in transformation (see transgenic plants).

Plants that have been genetically engineered using recombinant DNA techniques for new characteristics. Transgenic plants are produced by adding one or more genes to a plant genome using a process called transformation.
