Telemetry is the collection of measurements or other data at remote points and their automatic transmission to receiving equipment for monitoring. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemetry)
In vitro culture is a method applied for the growth and development of plant cells, tissues, and organs that uses a nutritive culture medium under controlled sterilized conditions. (Norouzi, O., Hesami, M., Pepe, M. et al. In vitro plant tissue culture as the fifth generation of bioenergy. Sci Rep 12, 5038 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-09066-3)
The amyloplast is a colorless plant plastid that forms and stores starch. Amyloplasts are found in many tissues, particularly in storage tissues. They are found in both photosynthetic and parasitic plants, i.e. even in plants that are not capable of photosynthesis. Many amyloplast proteins are also expressed in photosynthetic tissue.

Consistency is a quantification of the structural integrity of a material that exhibits both fluid- and solid-like behavior. Such materials include non-Newtonian fluids, viscoelastic materials, dispersions, structured liquids, soft solids, semi-fluids, semi-solids, and more. (Gurt, A., & Khonsari, M. (2024). A Review of the Rheological Consistency of Materials. Lubricants, 12(7), 236. https://doi.org/10.3390/lubricants12070236)
Cryopreservation involves the storage of germplasm at ultra-low temperatures (usually in liquid nitrogen at − 196 °C), whereby all metabolic activities are suspended. It is a cost–effective option that allows for long-term storage, reduces the risk of loss (from diseases, disasters, etc.), requires limited space and minimal maintenance, and can offer extinct/selected genetic material for improved breeding in the future but does not allow for continued genetic adaptation.

A condition found in a product that fails to meet essential quality, composition and/or labelling provisions of the appropriate product standards. (Adapted from Code of practice for fish and fishery products, FAO 2012, https://www.fao.org/3/i2382e/I2382E.pdf)
Demodicosis and demodectic mange or red mange in animals, is caused by a sensitivity to and overpopulation of Demodex spp. as the host's immune system is unable to keep the mites under control. (Adapted from Wikipedia, 2024. Demodicosis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demodicosis)
Disease caused by the liberation of exotoxins of Clostridium perfringens in the intestines of sheep, goats, cattle, foals, and piglets. Type B enterotoxemia in lambs is lamb dysentery; type C enterotoxemia in mature sheep produces "struck", and in calves, lambs and piglets it produces hemorrhagic enterotoxemia; type D enterotoxemia in sheep and goats is pulpy-kidney disease or overeating disease.
