Post-harvest processing is important for making potatoes available for a longer period in the market and keeping the losses at a minimum. Different factors are responsible for affecting the storage of potatoes in storehouses. Potatoes should be stored at different temperatures according to their intended purposes. Low temperature is better »
Special enzymes termed restriction enzymes have been discovered in many different bacteria and other single-celled organisms. These restriction enzymes can scan along a length of DNA looking for a particular sequence of bases that they recognize. This recognition site or sequence is generally from 4 to 6 base pairs in »
Gluten washing tests are laboratory analyses that provide information about the quantity and quality of gluten in wheat flour. These tests are used to evaluate the baking quality of hard and soft wheat flours used in the production of bakery products. The procedure to measure gluten is quite easy but »
The development of a genome editing experimental approach that mediates all possible base-to-base conversions, “indels”, and combinations in human genome without the need for double-strand breaks (DSBs) or donor DNA (dDNA) templates. Prime editing, the novel method of genome editing, exploits a longer-than-usual single guide RNA (gRNA), known as prime »
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth most consumed crop worldwide and is an important industrial raw material. Potato cultivars are classified as early-, mid- or late-maturing, based on their maturity period. Early-maturing varieties complete their life cycle in 60 -70 days and 85-95 days in case of mid- and »
Introduction Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is a viral disease of cattle caused by the Lumpy Skin Disease Virus (LSDV) and is included in the OIE list of notifiable animal diseases. It belongs to the genus Capripoxvirus of the family Poxviridae (Milovanović et al,2019). Morbidity rates vary between 10 to »
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a vegetable crop that belongs to the nightshade (Solanaceae) family. Till date, 110 wild and 4 cultivated species of potato have been recorded and it is highly heterozygous in nature with a ploidy level ranging from diploid to hexaploidy (Slater et al., 2014). However, the »
Malnutrition is a global concern that affects everyone at some point in their lives. Everyone is affected by this public health crisis, but the poor are especially vulnerable. Around two billion people are affected by malnutrition worldwide (ICDDRB, 2020). Malnutrition includes both under-nutrition and over-nutrition. Under-nourished people are facing wasting, »
Introduction: The dairy sector in Bangladesh is very important for poverty reduction, food and nutrition improvement, and women’s empowerment (Shahabuddin et al. 2011). It has created a source of income for farmers especially unemployed youth and women. The share of livestock in agricultural GDP is about 13.46% (3. »
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the second major crop of Bangladesh after rice and one of the major three staple crops of the world, e.g., rice, wheat and maize. According to FAOSTAT, in 2019, wheat was cultivated in about 21.6 million ha of lands with a gross production of »
Molecular characterization involves characterization at the molecular level without any influence of the environment or growth or physiological condition. That is why DNA based markers are known as molecular markers and characterization using these, is molecular characterization. There are currently two groups of characterization approaches: based on plant morphology and »
