Gene-recombination technology may speed growth rate by 30%.Nippon Nippon (nĭp`ŏn, nĭpŏn`), name for Japan, derived from Dai Nippon, meaning Great Japan. The expression comes from the Chinese ideograph for the place where the sun comes from, or Land of the Rising Sun. Paper, Tokyo Tokyo (tō`kēō), city (1990 pop. 8,163,573), capital of Japan and of Tokyo prefecture, E central Honshu, at the head of Tokyo Bay. , Japan, researchers are showing that gene-recombination technology to eliminate the growth of fruit and flowers on plants may speed growth rates Growth Rates The compounded annualized rate of growth of a company's revenues, earnings, dividends, or other figures. Notes: Remember, historically high growth rates don't always mean a high rate of growth looking into the future. by nearly a third. A gene that will stop certain types of cellular growth is introduced into a plant, making the plant grow faster because the energy for making flowers and fruit is used for plant growth itself. This gene-recombination technology was successfully introduced in the eucalyptus eucalyptus (y  'kəlĭp`təs): see myrtle. eucalyptus plant family, said the Nippon Paper research laboratory. |
