Antisense is a term that's used to describe one of the two strands of DNA, or actually in some cases also RNA.
Antisense strand (of DNA) The DNA strand which carries the complementary sequence to the mRNA. It is of course the strand which is actually transcribed into the mRNA.
Antisense RNA. A complementary RNA sequence that binds to a naturally occurring (sense) mRNA molecule, thus blocking its translation. (See RNA.)
Asexual reproduction. Nonsexual means of reproduction which can include grafting and budding.
Antisense RNA
An RNA molecule that can hybridize to an mRNA molecule. Hybridization of an antisense RNA molecule to the translation start sites on an mRNA prevents the initiation of translation.
antisense A construct in which a gene is fused to a promoter in 3' to 5' orientation. The resulting transcript is an 'antisense' transcript. Used in plants to suppress the expression of the endogenous gene.
Antisense DNA/RNA: Single stranded nucleic acid that is complementary to the coding/sense strand of a gene. It is then also complementary to the mRNA produced from the same gene.
Antisense Nucleic acid that has a sequence exactly opposite to an mRNA molecule made by the body; binds to the mRNA molecule to prevent a protein from being made.

Some people use the term ‘coding strand' and ‘non-coding strand' to refer to the sense and antisense strands, respectively. Unfortunately, many people interpret these terms in exactly the opposite way.
