| dove plant | <botany> A Central American orchid (Peristeria elata), having a flower stem five or six feet high, with numerous globose white fragrant flowers. The column in the center of the flower resembles a dove. Synonym: Holy Spirit plant. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| ice plant | <botany> A plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum), sprinkled with pellucid, watery vesicles, which glisten like ice. It is native along the Mediterranean, in the Canaries, and in South Africa. Its juice is said to be demulcent and diuretic; its ashes are used in Spain in making glass. Ice skate = a shoe with a metal runner (called a blade) attached to permit the wearer to glide on ice Ice-skater = one who skates on ice wearing an ice skate; especially. An athlete who performs athletic or artistic movements on a sheet of ice, wearing ice skates; including speed skater and figure skater Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| indicator plant | Plant species indicating some specific characteristic of a certain locality. (09 Oct 1997) |
| emersed plant | Plants growing with their roots and a portion of the shoot below the water and the remainder of the shoot above the surface of the water. (09 Oct 1997) |
| transgenic plant | Genetically engineered plantor offspring of genetically engineered plants. The transgenic plant usually contains material from at least one unrelated organisms, such as from a virus, animal, or other plant. (09 Oct 1997) |
| flax-plant | <botany> A plant in new Zealand (Phormium tenax), allied to the lilies and aloes. The leaves are two inches wide and several feet long, and furnish a fibre which is used for making ropes, mats, and coarse cloth. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| adenovirus e1a proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e1a region of adenovirus which are involved in positive regulation of transcription of the early genes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e1b proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e1b region of adenovirus which are involved in regulation of the levels of early and late gene expression. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e1 proteins | The very first viral gene products synthesised after cells are infected with adenovirus. The e1 region of the genome has been divided into two major transcriptional units, e1a and e1b, each expressing proteins of the same name (adenovirus e1a proteins and adenovirus e1b proteins). (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e2 proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e2 region of adenovirus. Several of these are required for viral DNA replication. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e3 proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e3 region of adenovirus but not essential for viral replication. The e3 19k protein mediates adenovirus persistence by reducing the expression of class I major histocompatibility complex antigens on the surface of infected cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
