The year 2003 marks the tenth anniversary of the first use of the acronym "e;Stat"e; (also written "e;STAT"e;) in the scientific literature for a family of transcription factors which rapidly transduce cytokine-and growth factor- elicited signals from the plasma membrane to the cell nucleus thereby activating gene transcription (thus, .
Plant breeding aims at the genetic enhancement of crops through the application of principles of Mendelian Genetics and modern tools and techniques of cell and molecular biology.

Many changes that occur during the embryonic development of an individual animal can be seen as a parallel to changes that have occurred in species or groups of species during evolutionary time.
In most breeding programs of plant and animal species, genetic data (such as data from field progeny tests) are used to rank parents and help choose candidates for selection.
Herpesviruses, classified in the family Herpesviridae, are important human and animal pathogens that can cause primary, latent or recurrent infections and even cancer.
