Variation in the Caprine KAP24-1 Gene Affects Cashmere Fibre Diameter [PDF]
Animals, 2019 The keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are structural components of cashmere fibres. The gene encoding the high-sulphur (HS)-KAP24-1 (KRTAP24-1) has been identified in humans and sheep, but it has not been described in goats. In this study, we report the

Predictive model for fibre yield estimation of tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius) in India
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2021 The present study explores the possibility of developing statistical models for prediction of dry fibre yield of tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius) in India. Sixty plants of 110 days age were randomly selected from the study area, and their basal diameter
