Company Profile:
Transmitting light but causing sufficient diffusion to eliminate perception of distinct images; intermediate between clear and opaque.
Industry:Agriculture
The opposite of chalkiness; measured with a Riken-Sanno Rice Meter which measures transmitted light through a fixed volume of rice grains, one model for brown rice, another for milled rice.

1). Genetic. Change in position of a segment of a chromosome to another location in the same or a different chromosome. 2). Physiological. The movement of assimilates (carbohydrates or nutrients) from one plant organ to another in response to stress or ontogeny. 3). Breakage and reunion of chromatid at a different point of the chromosome.
Industry:Agriculture
The process by which the genetic information of RNA is used to specify and direct the synthesis of proteins. Occurs in ribosomes.

Industry:Agriculture
A segregation pattern in which the segregants exceed the limits of the parents.
Industry:Agriculture
Descriptive of an organism that contains some genetic material that has been experimentally transferred into it from some other source.
Industry:Agriculture
