Triterpenes are terpenoid natural products with a 30-carbon skeleton built from six isoprene units, spanning acyclic squalene to hexacyclic structures; over 20,000 are known, mostly from plants.

Triterpenoids

Triterpenoids are terpenoids built on a C30 carbon skeleton from six isoprene units, forming a highly diverse class of plant natural products used in medicine, cosmetics, and agriculture.

Trithorax-group proteins

Trithorax-group (TrxG) proteins, also called trxG, are conserved chromatin regulators that activate genes via H3K4 methylation (COMPASS/MLL complexes) and SWI/SNF remodeling, antagonizing Polycomb silencing; MLL1 causes leukemia.

Tritiated water

Tritiated water, or tritium oxide, is water in which ordinary hydrogen is replaced by the radioactive isotope tritium, making it the most common environmental form of tritium.

Triticale

Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) is a man-made wheat-rye hybrid cereal, first crossed in 1875, grown mainly as animal feed; hexaploid AABBRR, about 17 million tonnes produced in 2014, with inferior bread-making quality but high feed value.

Triticonazole

Tritium

Tritium, or hydrogen-3, is the radioactive isotope of hydrogen, decaying to helium-3 with a half-life of 12.32 years; it is produced naturally and in nuclear reactors and used in fusion fuel.

Tritium breeding ratio

The tritium breeding ratio is the tritium produced in a fusion reactor's lithium blanket per tritium burned in the plasma; it must exceed 1 for self-sufficient fuel.

Tritium fuel cycle

The tritium fuel cycle is the closed loop of processes by which a deuterium-tritium fusion plant recovers unburned fuel from the exhaust and breeds replacement tritium from lithium.

Tritium labeling

Tritium labeling introduces the radioactive hydrogen isotope tritium into an organic molecule without changing its structure, a technique used widely in pharmaceutical drug discovery for tracing and measuring compounds.
