Plant by Phenotype

{
  "id": "MLC-T-ENV-021139",
  "term": "Plant by Phenotype",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "1. The observable structural and functional characteristics of a plant that result from the interaction of the genotype with the environment; the outward appearance of the organism.\n\n2. Characteristics of a plant that rely on translation of genetic information into proteins. An-tibiotic resistance patterns and carbon source utilization patterns represent phenotypes, as they are mediated by enzymes and other proteins.\n\n3. Observable characteristics of a plant produced by the plant's genotype interacting with the environment.",
