  2. Spaced seed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_seed

    Spaced seeds have been used in homology search., [1] alignment, [2] assembly, [3] and metagenomics. [4] They are usually represented as a sequence of zeroes and ones, where a one indicates relevance and a zero indicates irrelevance at the given position. Some visual representations use pound signs for relevant and dashes or asterisks for ...

  3. Plant morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_morphology

    The vegetative structures of vascular plants includes the study of the shoot system, composed of stems and leaves, as well as the root system. The reproductive structures are more varied, and are usually specific to a particular group of plants, such as flowers and seeds, fern sori, and moss capsules.

  4. Gymnosperm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnosperm

    The gymnosperms (/ ˈ dʒ ɪ m n ə ˌ s p ɜːr m z,-n oʊ-/ ⓘ JIM-nə-spurmz, -⁠noh-; lit. ' revealed seeds ') are a group of woody, perennial seed-producing plants, typically lacking the protective outer covering which surrounds the seeds in flowering plants, that include conifers, cycads, Ginkgo, and gnetophytes, forming the clade Gymnospermae [2] The term gymnosperm comes from the ...

  5. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

    Seeds generated by apomixis are a means of asexual reproduction, involving the formation and dispersal of seeds that do not originate from the fertilization of the embryos. Hawkweeds ( Hieracium ), dandelions ( Taraxacum ), some species of Citrus and Kentucky blue grass ( Poa pratensis ) all use this form of asexual reproduction.

  6. Structural genomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_genomics

    An example of a protein structure from Protein Data Bank.. Structural genomics seeks to describe the 3-dimensional structure of every protein encoded by a given genome.This genome-based approach allows for a high-throughput method of structure determination by a combination of experimental and modeling approaches.

  7. Plant reproductive morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproductive_morphology

    Plant reproductive morphology is the study of the physical form and structure (the morphology) of those parts of plants directly or indirectly concerned with sexual reproduction. Among all living organisms, flowers , which are the reproductive structures of angiosperms , are the most varied physically and show a correspondingly great diversity ...

  8. Endosperm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosperm

    In the caryopsis, the thin fruit wall is fused to the seed coat. Therefore, the nutritious part of the grain is the seed and its endosperm. In some cases (e.g. wheat, rice) the endosperm is selectively retained in food processing (commonly called white flour), and the embryo and seed coat removed. The processed grain has a lower quality of ...

  9. Epitaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitaxy

    The hematite structure is based on close-packed oxygen anions stacked in an AB-AB sequence, which results in a crystal with hexagonal symmetry. [ 31 ] If the cations were small enough to fit into a truly close-packed structure of oxygen anions then the spacing between the nearest neighbour oxygen sites would be the same for both species.
