Abstract:
... Water is an increasingly valuable resource and there is uncertainty about future rainfall patterns in a changing climate. Similarly, there are concerns with nitrogenous fertiliser use due to risks of greenhouse gas emissions and rising costs. Hence, it is timely to revisit and develop crop management strategies to balance economic, social and environmental impacts to determine if greater efficienc ...

Two cotton cultivars (Romanos and Allegria) were exposed to control (CF<4ppbO₃) and 100ppbO₃. Plant exposure to ozone began eight days after emergence and was interrupted one day before removing the leaves, to calculate the leaf area. Plants were exposed to ozone 7h/day, ...

Abstract:
... The pedigreed system is commonly used to develop improved genotypes of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.); however, this system can be resource intensive compared to mass selection methods. A project was initiated in 1995 to develop improved germplasm using recurrent mass selection in an ultradense plant population configuration. A composite population (CP) resulting from six cycles of selectio ...

The recently sequenced cotton genomes of two diploid species, Gossypium raimondii and G. arboreum have become references for study of agriculturally important cotton fibers composed nearly exclusively of cellulose. To better understand the roles of functionally divergent CESAs, ...

Abstract:
... Row spacing has the potential to affect agronomic traits of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Although narrow-rows can pose numerous management challenges (e.g., cultivation and harvesting), the benefits of narrow-rows may justify their use. Unfortunately, the extent and consistency of cotton's response to narrow-rows is variable, which makes management decisions more difficult. The objective ...
