Quantitative proteomics (also called comparative proteomics) studies the changes in protein abundance between two different groups or two biological conditions (e.g. samples and controls). The goal is to discover the responsive proteins related to a specific biological perturbation. This is often associated with a pathway analysis to understand the outcome of these changes on a functional level. (Cornell Institute of Biotechnology, n.d.

Toned milk is a method, developed in India, of treating buffalo milk by adding skim milk, powdered skim milk and water to buffalo milk. This process decreases the fat content, increases the quantity of available milk, and 'tones up' the non-fat solids level to the original amount. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toned_milk)
Begomoviruses constitute a group of plant viruses which have emerged in the recent decades as serious threats to the production of many vegetable, root and fiber crops in the tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of the world. Begomoviruses have monopartite or bipartite genomes, are whitefly-transmitted and are found in both the Old (both genome types) and New World (mostly bipartite genomes, with few monopartite genome viruses). (International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, 2024. Family: Geminiviridae
Genus: Begomovirus https://ictv.global/report/chapter/geminiviridae/geminiviridae/begomovirus)
Grapevine chrome mosaic virus (GCMV) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Secoviridae. Grapevine chrome mosaic virus (GCMV) infection can reduce plant vigour and may kill the vines.

A lifeboat or life raft is a small, rigid or inflatable boat carried for emergency evacuation in the event of a disaster aboard a ship. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifeboat_(shipboard))
Plant height is the shortest distance between the upper boundary of the main photosynthetic tissues (excluding inflorescences) on a plant and the ground level, expressed in metres.

Accounting, also known as accountancy, is the process of recording and processing information about economic entities, such as businesses and corporations. (Wikipedia. 2025. Accounting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accounting)
Production control is the activity of monitoring and controlling any particular production or operation. Production control is often run from a specific control room or operations room. With inventory control and quality control, production control is one of the key functions of operations management. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_control)
