budding

Being in an early developmental stage: a gallery with the works of budding artists.

Definition: developing, flowering
Antonyms: dying, shrinking, withering

A technique for converting a vine from one specific variety to another, such as from zinfandel to sauvignon blanc. This process is done by cutting off the fruit-bearing part of the vine and grafting the new variety to a T-shaped incision made in the top portion of the rootstock. This process speeds up the time in which the new variety is productive by 2 to 3 years. A newly planted vine might take 3 years or more to become fully productive, whereas a variety created by T-budding can be fully productive in the second year. This process is widely used in California and Australia, where it's called green grafting.

Gemmation; asexual reproduction in which a portion of the cell body is thrust out and then becomes separated, forming a new individual.

• b. virions — viruses that acquire their envelope by budding through modified regions of host cell membranes.

Budding is a form of asexual reproduction. The new organism is naturally genetically identical to the primary one (a clone). When yeast buds, one cell becomes two cells. When a sponge buds, a part of the parent sponge falls off and starts to grow into a new sponge. These are examples of asexual reproduction.

Virology

Budding is the process by which enveloped viruses acquire their external envelope, often as fragment of the host cell membrane, which bulges outwards and takes the virion inside. Some viruses hijack the host cell proteins normally involved in endocytosis to facilitate this process.

Embryology

The term budding is also applied to the process of embryo differentiation in which old structures are formed in outgrowth from pre-existing parts.

Horticulture

Budding is a process that consist of engrafting the bud of a plant into another plant.
