| biotechnology | <chemistry, molecular biology> A set of biological techniques developed through basic research and now applied to research and product development. In particular, the use by industry of recombinant DNA, cell fusion, and new bioprocessing techniques. Biotechnology products include antibiotics, insulin, interferon, recombinant DNA, and techniques such as waste recycling. Much older forms of biotechnology include breadmaking, cheese making and brewing wine and beer. (19 Jan 1998) |

| 1. To fix or impress, as a stamp, mark, character, idea, etc, into or upon something. "A look will print a thought that never may remove." (Surrey) "Upon his breastplate he beholds a dint, Which in that field young Edward's sword did print." (Sir John Beaumont) "Perhaps some footsteps printed in the clay." (Roscommon) 2. To stamp something in or upon; to make an impression or mark upon by pressure, or as by pressure. "Forth on his fiery steed betimes he rode, That scarcely prints the turf on which he trod." (Dryden) 3. Specifically: To strike off an impression or impressions of, from type, or from stereotype, electrotype, or engraved plates, or the like; in a wider sense, to do the typesetting, presswork, etc, of (a book or other publication); as, to print books, newspapers, pictures; to print an edition of a book. 4. To stamp or impress with coloured figures or patterns; as, to print calico. 5. <photography> To take (a copy, a positive picture, etc), from a negative, a transparent drawing, or the like, by the action of light upon a sensitized surface. Printed goods, textile fabrics printed in patterns, especially cotton cloths, or calicoes. Origin: Abbrev. Fr. Imprint. See Imprint, and Press to squeeze. 1. A mark made by impression; a line, character, figure, or indentation, made by the pressure of one thing on another; as, the print of teeth or nails in flesh; the print of the foot in sand or snow. "Where print of human feet was never seen." (Dryden) 2. A stamp or die for molding or impressing an ornamental design upon an object; as, a butter print. 3. That which receives an impression, as from a stamp or mold; as, a print of butter. 4. Printed letters; the impression taken from type, as to excellence, form, size, etc.; as, small print; large print; this line is in print. 5. That which is produced by printing. Specifically: An impression taken from anything, as from an engraved plate. "The prints which we see of antiquities." . A printed publication, more especially a newspaper or other periodical. A printed cloth; a fabric figured by stamping, especially calico or cotton cloth. A photographic copy, or positive picture, on prepared paper, as from a negative, or from a drawing on transparent paper. 6. A core print. See Core. Blue print, a copy in white lines on a blue ground, of a drawing, plan, tracing, etc, or a positive picture in blue and white, from a negative, produced by photographic printing on peculiarly prepared paper. In print. In a printed form; issued from the press; published. To the letter; with accurateness. "All this I speak in print." Out of print. See Out. Print works, a factory where cloth, as calico, is printed. See: Print, Imprint. 1. To use or practice the art of typography; to take impressions of letters, figures, or electrotypes, engraved plates, or the like. 2. To publish a book or an article. "From the moment he prints, he must except to hear no more truth." (Pope) Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| journal article | The predominant publication type for articles and other items indexed for nlm databases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| air plant | <botany> A plant deriving its sustenance from the air alone; an aerophyte. The "Florida moss" (Tillandsia), many tropical orchids, and most mosses and lichens are air plants. Those which are lodged upon trees, but not parasitic on them, are epiphytes. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| aquatic plant | <botany> Plants that must grow in water whether rooted in the mud or floating without anchorage, plants that must complete part or all of their life cycle in or near the water. (09 Oct 1997) |
| C3 plant | <plant biology> Plants that fix carbon dioxide in photosynthesis by the Calvin Benson cycle. The enzyme responsible for carbon dioxide fixation is RuDP carboxylase, whose products are compounds containing three carbon atoms. C3 plants are typical of temperate climates. Photorespiration in these plants is high. (07 Nov 1997) |
| C4 plant | <plant biology> Plants found principally in hot climates whose initial fixation of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis is by the HSK pathway. The enzyme responsible is PEP carboxylase, whose products contain four carbon atoms. Subsequently the carbon dioxide is released and re fixed by the Calvin Benson cycle. The presence of the HSK pathway permits efficient photosynthesis at high light intensities and low carbon dioxide concentrations. most species of this type have little or no photorespiration. (21 Mar 1998) |
| vascular plant | A plant which possesses a well-developed system of conducting tissue to transport water, mineral salts and sugars. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gene expression regulation, plant | Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control of gene action in plants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, plant | The hereditary material of plants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, structural, plant | DNA sequences that code for RNA and for the proteins required for the enzymatic and structural function of plant cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genome, plant | The complete gene complement contained in a set of chromosomes in a plant. (12 Dec 1998) |
| RNA, plant | Ribonucleic acid in plants having regulatory and catalytic roles as well as involvement in protein synthesis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| photosynthetic reaction centre, plant | A system consisting of proteins and cofactors which facilitates light energy and electron transfer in plants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| water plant | A plant that grows in water; an aquatic plant. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
