Protein-lipid combinations abundant in brain tissue, but also present in a wide variety of animal and plant tissues. In contrast to lipoproteins, they are insoluble in water, but soluble in a chloroform-methanol mixture. (MeSH. 2025. Proteolipids. https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D011510)
Cleavage of proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids either by proteases or non-enzymatically (e.g., hydrolysis). (MeSH. 2025. Proteolysis. https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D059748)
Llight regime is used to describe the dynamics of light quality, duration, and intensity on a daily, seasonal, or annual basis. (Adapted from Dynamics of multiaged stands, in Multiaged Silviculture.

Non-target species are organisms that are not intended to be affected or influenced by a particular action, intervention, or substance. For example, in fisheries non-target species are those for which the fishing gear is not specifically deployed or set, but may have immediate commercial value and be a desirable component of the catch; includes bycatch and by-product. (Adapted from Glossary of Terms, A Guide to Bycatch Reduction in Tropical Shrimp-Trawl Fisheries, FAO, 2007.)
Note
The term is commonly used in the context of various activities, such as pesticide application, conservation programs, fisheries, and scientific research, where the focus is on specific target species.
Continuous lighting (CL) is a lighting mode that maximizes the light period while minimizing the light intensity at the same daily light integrals (Xu W, Lu N, Kikuchi M, Takagaki M. Continuous Lighting and High Daily Light Integral Enhance Yield and Quality of Mass-Produced Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus L.) in Plant Factories. Plants (Basel). 2021 Jun 12;10(6):1203. doi: 10.3390/plants10061203. PMID: 34204820; PMCID: PMC8231634.)

Pruning is the proper and judicious removal of plant parts such as shoots, spurs, leaves, roots or nipping away of terminal parts etc. to correct or maintain tree structure and increase its usefulness.

Removal of live or dead branches, roots and other parts of a plant for the purpose of improvement
