Abstract:
... Hemp is a sustainable source of natural fibres that can contribute to meet the increasing demand for technical applications in the textile and the composite sectors. Continuous reinforcements can be produced using the existing flax machinery, initially developed for textile purposes. To achieve competitive and economically viable fibre yields and a fibre quality suitable for secondary processing a ...

Abstract:
... Manually picking of cotton bolls is a tedious, costly, and labor-intensive task, while harvesting using machines results in higher harvesting losses. By keeping selective picking in mind to maintain fiber quality, minimize harvesting losses, and tackle the shortage of farm labor in near future, cotton harvesting robots seem to be a better alternative in coming years in both developing and develope ...

Abstract:
... Jute fiber has a great role in Indian economy. Since, jute fiber quality varies one place to another owing to various reasons, it becomes imperative to go for classification and gradation of jute fibers on the basis of which jute pricing is fixed. Traditionally, jute grading is done by ‘Hand & Eye’ method which is totally subjective. In modern BIS system, a more scientific approach is practised fo ...

Abstract:
... Cotton fiber is the most important raw material of the textile industry. Agricultural activities, harvesting methods, storage, ginning, and spinning process are important in determining the quality and efficiency of cotton fiber. Cotton fiber, which is mostly used in yarn factories, should be subjected to conditioning process before spinning, and the moisture (%) content should be at the desired l ...

Abstract:
... In the Argentine Puna, innovation proposals for the production of vicuña fiber represent a strategic opportunity for local communities. However, the development of these proposals, essential for the addition of local value, is affected by the lack of information on the relationship between fiber quality and processing. Thus, this study aimed to characterize the variability in both the quantity and ...

Abstract:
... Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a multi-purpose crop that finds applications in technical textile, paper, food, cosmetic and automotive industries. Due to the increasing demand for sustainable fibres, the hemp fibre sector is expected to grow in the future. However, overall information on the effect of agronomic practices on decortication efficiency and hemp fibre quality traits is very limited. This ...

Abstract:
... Melt blowing (MB) is an industrial process used in producing microfibrous nonwoven materials. Over the past decades, a considerable amount of theoretical and experimental research has been conducted on the mechanisms of fiber dynamics during MB.

Abstract:
... Foundation parents play a critical role in the genetic constituents of the derived genotypes. Deltapine-15 (DLP-15), introduced to China in 1950, is one of the most commonly used parents for early breeding programs in China. However, the formation and inheritance patterns of genomic constituents have not been studied. Therefore, this study aimed at understanding and exploring the genomic architect ...

Abstract:
... Organic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in the United States is steadily growing because of increased consumer demand, market premium prices, and regulatory shifts. As organic production expands in the United States, adventitious presence of genetically engineered (GE) traits caused by either pollen‐ or seed‐mediated gene flow from nonorganically grown sources of cotton raises concerns a ...

Abstract:
... Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is identified as a leading fibre crop and there is increasing interest in C. sativa fibre due to its new range of industrial applications. However, the complexity of hemp germplasm resulted in insufficient information on the effect of genotypes on fibre quality and quantity. In this study, 16 fibre and non-fibre type hemp genotypes were evaluated to compare the ...

Abstract:
... Cotton requires multiple processing steps to convert the raw agricultural products into finished textiles. Genetic and environmental factors, crop management decisions, and processing practices interact to affect optimal end use, product quality, and process efficiency. Currently, only limited data sharing occurs between sectors of the cotton industry, primarily the official USDA classing data use ...

... The study explored the impact of the hydrodynamic degumming process applied for decorticated monomorphic flax on fiber quality. The experiment was designed as the first stage of research leading to the development of a method for decorticated flax fiber elementarization and cottonization; in particular, effectively dividing the fiber bundles to ensure low linear density and reducing impurities in ...
... Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is an important bast fiber crop, and a source of fiber to many industries. This crop is diploid (2n = 2x = 36) in nature, and belongs to Malvaceae family. Kenaf breeding is directed to develop the new cultivars that are better in fiber production, fiber quality, resistant to anthracnose, photo-insensitivity, resistant to salt and drought stresses, and so on.

Abstract:
... Cotton is one of the most important economic crops in the world, with over 90 % cellulose in the mature fiber. However, the cellulose synthesis mechanism in cotton fibers is poorly understood. Here, we identified four DUF288 domain containing proteins, which we designated GhSTL1-4. These four GhSTL genes are highly expressed in 6 days post anthesis (dpa) and 20 dpa cotton fibers. They are localize ...

Abstract:
... The Musa textilis var. Abuab has high fiber quality (FQ) but is susceptible to abaca bunchy top virus (AbBTV); the Musa balbisiana var. Pacol has low FQ but is resistant against AbBTV. Their backcrosses (BC₂ and BC₃) possess both desirable traits. Analysis using RNA-seq showed that the regulatory divergence of Abuab and Pacol is largely explained by cis differences with 27.4% and 22.3% if we are t ...

Abstract:
... Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD), caused by a geminivirus complex, is the most serious disease of upland cotton in northwest India and Pakistan. It results in substantial losses in cotton yield and fibre quality. Due to continuous appearance of new viral strains, all the established CLCuD resistant stocks, extant and obsolete cultivars of upland cotton have become susceptible. Therefore, it became ...
