Prediction of these siRNA 'off-target...

The aim of current study was to isolate and evaluate the starch from Chenopodium album (LP) and Chenopodium album (LS) varieties for its physicochemical, particle size analysis, and textural properties. The starch isolated from C. album (LP) and C. album (LS) showed yield values of 37.59 and 47.30%, while amylose content of the mentioned varieties was found to be 16.75 and 19.11%, respectively....
