Ginkgo Bioworks is an American biotech company founded in 2008 by five scientists from MIT, [3] headed by Jason Kelly. The company specializes in using genetic engineering to produce bacteria with industrial applications for other biotech companies, saving other companies the cost of reproducing the initial stages of design in synthetic biology .
Salisburia macrophylla Reyn. Ginkgo biloba, commonly known as ginkgo or gingko ( / ˈɡɪŋkoʊ, ˈɡɪŋkɡoʊ / GINK-oh, -goh ), [ 5][ 6] also known as the maidenhair tree, [ 7] is a species of gymnosperm tree native to East Asia. It is the last living species in the order Ginkgoales, which first appeared over 290 million years ago, and ...
Ginkgo. Salisburia Sm. Ginkgo is a genus of non-flowering seed plants. The scientific name is also used as the English name. The order to which it belongs, Ginkgoales, first appeared in the Permian, [ 3] 270 million years ago, and Ginkgo is now the only living genus within the order. The rate of evolution within the genus has been slow, and ...
Ginkgo cranei. Ginkgo cranei is an extinct Ginkgo species in the family Ginkgoaceae described from a series of isolated fossil ovulate organs and leaves. The species is known from upper Paleocene sediments exposed in the state of North Dakota, US. It is the first Ginkgo species to be described from Paleogene period with reproductive structures.
Ginkgoidae is a subclass of Equisetopsida in the sense used by Mark W. Chase and James L. Reveal in their 2009 article "A phylogenetic classification of the land plants to accompany APG III ." [1] This subclass contains the single extant genus Ginkgo under order Ginkgoales, family Ginkgoaceae. [2] Its only extant species is Ginkgo biloba, the ...
Ginkgophyte foliage has stayed largely consistent since the Mesozoic. Its historically wide territory makes it an important leaf morphology, and its unique stomata and isotopic profile give it a key role in recreations of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Leaf fossils that resemble the Ginkgophytes are known as Ginkgoites.
Ginkgo henanensis is known from 30 fossilized leaves, all excavated from the Dazhang Formation of Luanchuan, Henan Province, China, though only 4 of these leaves are well-preserved. These specimens have been deposited in the Paleobotanical Lab of Chang'a University in China. [1]
Gingo biloba. " Gingo biloba " (later: " Ginkgo biloba ") is a poem written by the German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The poem was published in his work West–östlicher Divan ( West–Eastern Divan ), first published in 1819. Goethe used "Gingo" instead of "Ginkgo" in the first version to avoid the hard sound of the letter "k".
