The concept of juvenile water has influenced early discussions about ore genesis tremendously. The terms juvenile water and magmatic water have been used synonymously sometimes, but they are not exactly the same. Juvenile water originates from degassing of the mantle and has never existed as surface water. Magmatic water is a non-genetic term and simply means a water that has equilibrated with a magma. 

Pharmacogenetics is the branch of pharmacol-ogy/genetics, which studies these differences and seeks to account for them in molecular genetic terms. 

Pectin. Pectin [9000-69-5] is a genetic term for a group of polysaccharides, mainly partially methoxylated polygalacturonic acids, which are located in the cell walls of all plant tissues. The main commercial sources of pectin are citrus peel and apple pomace, where it represents 20—40% and 10—20% of the dry weight respectively. The pectin is extracted, the extract purified, and the pectin precipitated (50) increased extraction times lead to the production of low methoxyl pectins. 

Two examples have been chosen for discussion, i.e. the interactions of tomato with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato and with Cladosporium fulvum, a bacterial and a fungal pathogen, respectively. These two plant pathogen interactions are among the few that have been characterized not only in genetic terms but also at the molecular and biochemical levels and they are thus well suited for a discussion of the fundamental principles. 

Penetrance Genetic term referring to the degree to which an inherited characteristic is expressed. 

Translocation—A genetic term referring to a situation during cell division in which a piece of one chromosome breaks off and sticks to another chromosome.

The proanthocyanidins share a biosynthesis sequence with the anthocyanins, a class of flavanoids well understood in biochemical and genetic terms. Three enzymes, leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR), anthocyanidin synthase (ANS), and anthocyanidin reductase (ANR), function at branches between the anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis pathways (Scheme 1). LAR is a member of the reductase—eptmerase—dehydrogenase enzyme...

One puzzling and unexplained facet of the disease is the wide clinical variation which exists, particularly in respect of age of presentation. Although it is customary to explain such variation in genetic terms, it is also possible to explain it on the basis of exogenous, i.e. dietary, variation. 

Recombination is a genetic term referring to the incorporation of DNA from two separate bacteria into one strand. It comes about through breakage of the parental DNA molecules and subsequent rejoining to form recombinants. The ability to carry out such a process makes it possible to join DNA molecules of unrelated organisms in vitro. The role of the restriction endonucleases is a key to this process, since these enzymes are able to cut DNA at sequence specific sites.
