  2. Species translocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species_translocation

    Translocation can be an effective management strategy and important topic in conservation biology, but despite their popularity, translocations are a high‐cost endeavor with a history of failures. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It may decrease the risk of extinction by increasing the range of a species, augmenting the numbers in a critical population, or ...

  3. Translocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translocation

    Nonreciprocal translocation, transfer of genes from one chromosome to another; PEP group translocation, a method used by bacteria for sugar uptake; Twin-arginine translocation pathway, a protein export pathway found in plants, bacteria, and archaea; Translocation (botany), transport of nutrients through phloem

  4. Phloem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phloem

    This transport process is called translocation. [2] In trees, the phloem is the innermost layer of the bark, hence the name, derived from the Ancient Greek word φλοιός (phloiós), meaning "bark". [3] [4] The term was introduced by Carl Nägeli in 1858. [5] [6] Different types of phloem can be distinguished. The early phloem formed in the ...

  5. Translocon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translocon

    The translocon (also known as a translocator or translocation channel) is a complex of proteins associated with the translocation of polypeptides across membranes. [1] In eukaryotes the term translocon most commonly refers to the complex that transports nascent polypeptides with a targeting signal sequence into the interior (cisternal or lumenal) space of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) from ...

  6. Chromosomal translocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_translocation

    Chromosomal reciprocal translocation of the 4th and 20th chromosome. In genetics, chromosome translocation is a phenomenon that results in unusual rearrangement of chromosomes. This includes balanced and unbalanced translocation, with two main types: reciprocal, and Robertsonian translocation.

  7. Genetic transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_transformation

    The transferred DNA (called T-DNA) is piloted to the plant cell nucleus by nuclear localization signals present in the Agrobacterium protein VirD2, which is covalently attached to the end of the T-DNA at the Right border (RB). Exactly how the T-DNA is integrated into the host plant genomic DNA is an active area of plant biology research.

  8. Biological globalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_globalization

    A growing and changing human population plays an important part on what plants are moved to new locations and which are left untouched. [ 2 ] There have been examples of biological globalization dating back to 3000 BCE, [ 3 ] but the most famous example is more recent, namely the Columbian Exchange . [ 1 ]

  9. Karyotype - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyotype

    A karyotype is the general appearance of the complete set of chromosomes in the cells of a species or in an individual organism, mainly including their sizes, numbers, and shapes.
