CRISPR-Cas9 system is one of the most used genome editing techniques in the recent time. In spite of its high potentiality to modify the specific target genes and region of the genome which are complementary of the designed guide RNA (or sgRNA), still it suffers from the off-target effect. Here, in this study, an attempt has been made to develop models based on...

The present investigation was undertaken in sponge gourd in order to estimate heterosis, combining ability and nature of gene action involved in the inheritance of fruit yield and its component characters, viz., days to open first female flower, node to first female flower, node to first male flower, days to first picking, length of vine (m), number of primary bran...

The problem of pollution as a consequence of increased industrialization is, by now, a well-known phenomenon. In case of pollution in water, the problem is more serious. Not only industrial wastes, but also discharge of domestic waste water and sewage can be major pollutant. In present investigation three mathematical models first on the impact of pulp and paper mi...
