| agriculturist | One engaged or skilled in agriculture; a husbandman. "The farmer is always a practitioner, the agriculturist may be a mere theorist." (Crabb) Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| agrimony | <botany> A genus of plants of the Rose family. The name is also given to various other plants; as, hemp agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum); water agrimony (Bidens). The Agrimonia eupatoria, or common agrimony, a perennial herb with a spike of yellow flowers, was once esteemed as a medical remedy, but is now seldom used. Origin: OE. Agremoyne, OF. Aigremoine, L. Agrimonia for argemonia, fr. Gr. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| agrin | <protein> Protein isolated from the synapse rich electric organ of Torpedo californica that induces the formation of synaptic specialisations on myotubes in culture. Present in muscle cells before innervation and concentrated at the neuromuscular junction once AChR clustering occurs. The release of agrin from motor axon terminals is thought to trigger the formation of the postsynaptic apparatus at developing and regenerating neuromuscular junctions. (18 Nov 1997) |
| agriologist | One versed or engaged in agriology. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| agrobacterium | A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria. With the exception of agrobacterium radiobacter, members of this genus invade the crown, roots, and stems of plants, via wounds, causing the transformation of the plant cells into proliferating tumour cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| agrobacterium tumefaciens | A species of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria isolated from soil and the stems and roots of plants. It causes oncogenic transformations (tumour formation) in a wide variety of higher plants after wounding. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Agrobacterium tumifaciens | <bacteria, microbiology, oncology> Agrobacterium tumifaciens is a gram-negative bacterim found in soil which causes crown gall disease in plants (which causes tumours to form at the crown and at the junction of the root and stem). The tumours are caused by the Ti plasmid in the bacterium, which is transferred from the bacteria to the plant cells. Because this plasmid is capable of replication in plant cells, it is used as a DNA vector in the genetic manipulation of plants and is being heavilly researched by plant genetic engineers. (14 Nov 1997) |
| agrochemical | <chemistry> Term for any artificially-produced chemical (such as a feed additives, pharmaceutical, fertiliser, pesticide, fumigant, fertiliser, plant hormones, steroids, antibiotics, mycotoxins) used in agriculture to improve crop or livestock production. (04 Jul 1999) |

This can be either in some form of spatial arrangement or in a time sequence. To qualify as agroforestry, a given land-use system or practice must permit significant economic and ecological interactions between the woody and non-woody components. Within this broad definition, a wide variety of both traditional, as well as relatively new systems and practices, fall under the umbrella concept of agroforestry. (04 Jul 1999) |
