Fish samples were examined having total length ranged from 172 to 301 mm with a coefficient of variation of 13.26%. The morphometric characters in the percentage of total length and head length showed a high value of correlation coefficient (r>0.84) and coefficient of determination (r2 >0.79) indicates that most of the characters exhibited a direct proportional growth to each other and a higher degree of homogeneity within the population. Between the ten morphometric characters in the percentage of head length, there were five genetically controlled, three intermediate and two environmentally controlled characters. In percentage of head length, one character was observed to be genetically controlled and the other three were environmentally controlled The fin formula of the fish can be written as D.I (4-5), II(11-12), P.13-16, V.5-7, A. 12-14, C. 12-15. The length-weight relationship of the fish is represented as Log W = -4.2655 + 2.8147 Log L for male, Log W = - 4.3705 + 2.8556 Log L for female and Log W = - 4.3236+2.837Log L for pooled one. The correlation coefficient (r) was estimated as 0.93, 0.96 and  0.94 (P< 0.001) for  male, female and pooled one while the regression coefficient for all the three cases were less than 3.0 indicating the negative allometry  of the fish. It was evident that, both male and females showed a disparity in growth pattern which was clearly depicted from the regression of male and female (P<0.05). The present study generated data on the morphometrics, meristics, and length – weight relationship of U. marmoratus captured from the South Eastern coast of India (Palkbay) and forms the first reference for the species worldwide.<#LINE#>Bray D.J.

The nature of organic waste is an important factor to decide the quality and stability of compost. This study was designed to check the organic matter of compost formed by using different substrate. The windrows were composed of different organic waste and sprayed with commercial BST inoculum to enhance the process. The compost samples were collected after 3 months of composting. It was concluded from this study that the percentage of organic matter was varied and the ideal organic matter content was given by  experimental windrows composed of screening matter +Cow Dung +Saw dust +Green Waste and screening matter +Cow Dung +Saw dust +paper.

Amylase is a highly efficient commercial biocatalyst with an extensive range of utilizations from food to non-food industries. The hydrolytic activities of amylases on glycosidic bonds in starch have successfully replaced chemical processing of starch in different industries due to cost effectiveness and technical advantages. Production of glucose/fructose syrups and most widely used biofuel results from the catalytic activity of amylases. Amylases are used for a variety of applications in different enterprises including food, paper, detergent and textile industry. Additionally, amylases may also have potential application in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries.<#LINE#>Singh R., Kumar M., Mittal A. and Mehta P.K.

This genetic modification of genes can be done by using rDNA technology. Gene technologies plays an important role to analyses all the modifications in engineered product. These techniques can be used for isolation and transfer of specific DNA molecules into particular crops and plants. The most common gene transfer method is Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which transfers DNA into plants by stable integration of DNA molecule. Cotton plants have been modified by using a gene from Bacillus thruringiensis (Bt). Current research in genetic engineering is oriented towards a variety of possible ways with their specific applications. Genetically modified (GM) plants can give rise to number of useful ways to provide benefit to human beings. Also, they can be used to provide resistance against various diseases. Hence, production of GM crops can open multiple ways to treat many challenges in the current and future research. Therefore, in this review we have highlight maximum possible uses of GM crops, production methods and applications.<#LINE#>KARP Gerald (1999).@Cell and Molecular Biology: concepts and Experiments.@3rd ed., New York, Willey, 785 p.
