Abstract:
... The analysis of genetic correlations between fiber length (Len), strength (Str), micronaire, and 12 other traits was conducted using the additive (A)-dominance (D) genetic model, which considers genotype × environment interaction effects, in intraspecific upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) hybrids to effectively improve the quality of cotton cultivars in high planting density cases. Decision-ma ...

Abstract:
... Because reproductive growth could be influenced by sucrose metabolism of major source leaf (leaf subtending to cotton boll, LSCB), we hypothesized that decreased temperatures under field conditions would limit morphology and biomass distributions of the whole cotton plant by decreasing photosynthesis of LSCB and inhibiting sucrose metabolism in LSCB. To address this hypothesis, two cotton cultivar ...

Abstract:
... Chemical defoliation is a necessary pre-harvest practice in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in California, and all harvest aid efforts require proper timing to preserve cotton lint yield and quality. Generally, cotton growers are advised to begin defoliation as early as possible, but not so early that they cause yield and quality loss. In order to have confidence in this final pre-harves ...

Abstract:
... Plant growth requires cell wall extension. The cotton AtRD22-Like 1 gene GhRDL1, predominately expressed in elongating fiber cells, encodes a BURP domain-containing protein. Here, we show that GhRDL1 is localized in cell wall and interacts with GhEXPA1, an α-expansin functioning in wall loosening. Transgenic cotton overexpressing GhRDL1 showed an increase in fiber length and seed mass, and an enla ...

The ability to monitor verde plant bug, Creontiades signatus Distant (Hemiptera: Miridae), and the progression of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., boll responses to feeding and associated cotton boll rot provided opportunity to assess if single in-season measurements had value in evaluating at-harvest damage to bolls and if multiple in-season measurements enhanced their combined use. One in-season v ...

Abstract:
... Ribulose bis-carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit genes (rbcS) are found to be highly expressed in most plant species. Promoters of rbcS genes have been isolated, characterized, and used to enhance expression of transgenes in transgenic lines. In this study, we have identified five different members of the rbcS gene family in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). All five genes contain three exons and two i ...

Abstract:
... In the late 1980s, after a long period during which insecticides were sprayed at preset dates to control cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) pests and their damage, some French-speaking countries in sub-Saharan areas decided to disseminate a special form of crop protection approach among smallholders, i.e. targeted staggered control (LEC, for Lutte étagée ciblée). According to this approach, decisions ...

Abstract:
... The southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), is cosmopolitan in distribution and feeds on a multitude of food and fiber crops. It induces abscission of bolls of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., and reduces seed cotton yield, gin-turnout, and fiber quality. Also, the bug vectors bacterial and fungal pathogens causing necrosis of the locule and rotting the bolls. Con ...

Abstract:
... The verde plant bug, Creontiades signatus (Distant), has been present in south Texas for several years but has more recently been documented as an economic threat to cultivated cotton, (Gossypium hirsutum L. Our studies over 2 yr (2009 and 2010) and two locations (Weslaco and Corpus Christi, TX) investigated feeding-injury of the verde plant bug to a range of cotton boll age classes defined by bol ...
