germplasm: Germplasm is a term used to describe a collection of genetic resources for an organism. For plants, the germplasm may be stored as a seed collection or, for trees, in a nursery
germ-plasm theory: Concept of the physical basis of heredity expressed by the biologist August Weismann (1834-1914). It claimed that germ plasm, which Weismann believed to be independent from all other cells of the body, was the essential element of germ cells (eggs and sperm) and was the hereditary material passed from generation to generation. First proposed in 1883, his view contradicted Lamarck's then-prevalent theory of acquired characteristics. Though its details have been altered, its idea of the stability of hereditary material is the basis of the modern understanding of physical inheritance
germplasm: set of different genotypes that may be conserved or used to grow improved crops
germplasm: genetic material (with a definite chemical and molecular constitution) which forms the physical basis of inherited qualities and is transmitted from generation to generation by the germ cells
germplasm: The company's seed breeding material and commercial seed varieties
germplasm: The total genetic variability, represented by germ cells or seeds, available to a particular population of organisms
germplasm: Germplasm is commonly used to further research, with little value for increase or direct commercial use in its present form However, some desirable characters may be immediately useful to breeders and industry in developing improved varieties in other research programs
germplasm: Refers to plant materials that serve as a basis of crop improvement or a reservoir of genes for research The total hereditary makeup of organisms That which determines the hereditary properties of an organism
