Hydrolyzed protein is a solution derived from the hydrolysis of a protein into its component amino acids and peptides. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolyzed_protein)
The exchange of genes between different populations of the same species produced by migrants, resulting in simultaneous changes in gene frequencies at many loci in the recipient gene pool. (IAEA. 2006. SIT-Glossary https://nucleus-qa.iaea.org/sites/naipc/twd/Pages/SIT-Glossary.aspx)
The percentage of all alleles at a given locus in a population represented by a specific allele. (IAEA. 2006. SIT-Glossary https://nucleus-qa.iaea.org/sites/naipc/twd/Pages/SIT-Glossary.aspx)
Random changes in gene frequency in a population caused by small effective population size, e.g. sampling error. Genetic drift may cause gene variants to disappear completely, thereby reduce genetic variation. Genetic drift is inversely related to effective population size. (FAO. 2025. Glossary for aquatic genetic resources for food and agriculture. CGRFA-20/25/6.2/Inf.1. https://openknowledge.fao.org/handle/20.500.14283/cd4254en)
The maintenance of a steady state with respect to allele frequencies in a group of interbreeding organisms. (FAO. 2001. Glossary of Biotechnology for Food and Agriculture http://www.fao.org/DOCREP/004/Y2775E/y2775e00.htm)
Intergovernmental organisation regulating international trade, providing a framework for negotiating trade agreements, and acting as dispute resolution process. The WTO was created by the Uruguay Round agreement and officially commenced in 1995. (OECD/FAO (2023), OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2023-2032, OECD Publishing, Paris, https://doi.org/10.1787/08801ab7-en)
The growing of plants in nutrient solutions with or without an inert medium (such as soil) to provide mechanical support. (Wageningen University and Research eDepot. Glossary Molecular Markers in Plant Breeding https://edepot.wur.nl/571324)

The lower right and left chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps venous blood into the lungsand the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arterial circulation. (MeSH. 2024. Heart Ventricles. https://meshb-prev.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D006352)
