There is a consensus among researchers that the simultaneous involvement of heat and mass transfer in fluid flow owns numerous daily life applications like energy systems, automobiles, cooling of electronic devices, power generation by the stream, electric power, and diagnosing and characterizing diseases, to mention just a few. Owing to such motivation, we considered both heat and mass transfer aspects in non-Newtonian fluid flow regimes. The Casson fluid is considered as a non-Newtonian fluid. For better novelty the flow is considered at both flat and cylindrical surfaces along with stagnation point, magnetic field, mixed convection, heat generation, viscous dissipation, thermal radiations, and temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. The ultimate differential equations are nonlinear, and hence difficult to solve analytically. Therefore, a numerical scheme, namely the shooting method with the Runge–Kutta algorithm, is adopted to report an acceptable solution for flow field description. The outcomes are shared comparatively for flat and cylindrical surfaces. We have seen that compared to a flat surface, the cylindrical surface has a larger Nusselt number magnitude.
Cotton has enormous economic potential providing high-quality protein, oil, and fibre. A large increase in cotton output is necessary due to the world's changing climate and constantly expanding human population. In the past, conventional breeding techniques were used to introduce genes into superior cotton cultivars to increase production and to improve quality. The disadvantages of traditional breeding techniques are their time-consuming, reliance on genetic differences that are already present, and considerable backcrossing. To accomplish goals in a short amount of time, contemporary plant breeding techniques, in particular modern genome editing technologies (GETs), can be used. Numerous crop improvement initiatives have made use of GETs, such as zinc-finger nucleases, transcription-activator-like effector nucleases, clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR), and CRISPR-associated proteins systems (CRISPR/Cas)-based technologies. The CRISPR/Cas system has a lot of potential because it combines three qualities that other GETs lack: simplicity, competence, and adaptability. The CRISPR/Cas mechanism can be used to improve cotton tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, alter gene expression, and stack genes for critical features with little possibility of segregation. The transgene clean strategy improves CRISPR acceptability addressing regulatory issues associated with the genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The research opportunities for using the CRISPR/Cas system to address biotic and abiotic stresses, fibre quality, plant architecture and blooming, epigenetic changes, and gene stacking for commercially significant traits are highlighted in this article. Furthermore, challenges to use of CRISPR technology in cotton and its potential for the future are covered in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
