Greige cotton is an intact plant fiber. The cuticle and primary cell wall near the outer surface of the cotton fiber contains pectin, peroxidases, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and trace metals, which are associated with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) generation during cotton fiber development. Traditionally, the processing of cotton into gauze involves scouring and bleaching processes that remove the ...

Cotton fibers are an excellent model for understanding of cellulose biosynthesis in higher plants. In this study, we determined a high cellulose biosynthesis activity in vitro by optimizing biochemical reaction conditions in cotton fibers. By adding a commercial cellulase enzyme into fibers extraction process, we extracted markedly higher levels of GhCESA1 and GhCESA8 proteins and observed an i...

Thermal comfort properties are very important factors for knitted fabrics. Optimized demanding during the design of garments, especially sportswear, outerwear and underwear. Knitted fabrics produced from regenerated fibers other than cotton highly preferred due to their eco-friendly, environmentally friendly superior performance properties. In this study, woven were investigated. single jersey ...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) loaded on the cotton fiber can endow with good antibacterial activity, but AgNPs surface of will leach out increase washing times, which not only greatly reduce properties fiber, also cause pollution to environment. In this paper, carboxyl groups were introduced into by three methods, namely selective oxidation, butane tetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) grafting and polyac...

Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense) is widely cultivated because of its long, strong seed trichomes ('fibers') used for premium textiles. These agronomically advanced fibers were derived following domestication and thousands of years of human-mediated crop improvement. To gain an insight into fiber development and evolution, we conducted comparative proteomic and transcriptomic profiling of deve...
