(2) In plants with various genotypic components (mottled-leaf plants, chimeras), the appearance of shoots that correspond to one of the components. (3) In genetics, turning of a mutated gene to a gene of the initial type (reverse, or back, mutation). Like direct mutations, reversion may be spontaneous or artificially induced by various mutagens. The study of reversions in bacteria, bacteriophages, and other microorganisms has led to a better understanding of the mechanism of mutagenesis. reversion[ri′vər·zhən] (chemical engineering) In rubber manufacture, a decrease in rubber modulus or viscosity caused by overworking.

This may occur by, for example, a back mutation that precisely restores the wild-type DNA sequence and therefore the wild-type phenotype, or by a SUPPRESSOR MUTATION that restores only the original phenotype. The resulting organism is called a revertant. see REVERSE MUTATION.Patient discussion about reversionQ. I have been struggling with an eating disorder. Can I reverse this? Hi everybody!

ReversionAny future interest kept by a person who transfers property to another. A reversion occurs when a property owner makes an effective transfer of property to another but retains some future right to the property. For example, if Sara transfers a piece of property to Shane for life, Shane has the use of the property for the rest of his life. Upon his death, the property reverts, or goes back, to Sara, or if Sara has died, it goes to her heirs. Shane's interest in the property, in this example, is a life estate. Sara's ownership interest during Shane's life, and her right or the right of her heirs to take back the property upon Shane's death, are called reversionary interests. A reversion differs from a remainder because a reversion arises through the operation of law rather than by act of the parties. A remainder is a future interest that is created in some person other than the grantor or transferor, whereas a reversion creates a future interest in the grantor or his or her heirs. If Sara's transfer had been "to Shane for life, then to Lily," Lily's interest would be a remainder. Cross-references Estate. reversionn. in real property, the return to the grantor or his/her heirs of real property after all interests in the property given to others has terminated. Examples: George Generous deeded property to the local hospital district for "use for health facilities only," and the hospital is eventually torn down and the property is now vacant. The property reverts to George's descendants; George wills the property to his sister's children only, who later died without children. When the last grandchild dies the property reverts to George's descendants. Reversion is also called "reverter."

Co. Litt. 142, b. 2. The reversion arises by operation of law, and not by deed or will, and it is a vested interest or estate, and in this it differs from a remainder, which can never be limited unless by either deed or devise. 2 Bl.
