Cotton leaf diseases have occurred all over the world including India. They have significant impact on quality and yield of cotton. This paper select bacterial leaf blight, myrothecium and grey mildew as study object. The testing samples of the images are gathered from CICR Nagpur. The image enhancement techniques used include histogram equalization, decorelation stretching, linear contrast str...

Premature leaf senescence has a negative influence on the yield and quality of cotton, and several genes have been found to regulate leaf senescence. Howeer, many underlying transcription factors are yet to be identified. In this study, a NAP-like transcription factor (GhNAP) was isolated from Gossypium hirsutum. GhNAP has the typical NAC structure and a conserved novel subdomain in its diverge...

In South Asia, Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) is caused by a complex of phylogenetically-related begomovirus species and a specific betasatellite, Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMuB). The post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) suppression activities of the transcriptional activator protein (TrAP), C4, V2 and βC1 proteins encoded by Cotton leaf curl Kokhran virus (CLCuKoV)/CLCu...

Agricultural crops in India are under constant threat of pests affecting their roots as well as leaves. Plant diseases cause significant damage and economic losses in crops. Subsequently, reduction in plant diseases by early diagnosis results in substantial improvement in quality of the product. Enormous cotton crop yield is lost every year, due to rapid infestation by pests and insects. Infect...

Defoliants can increase machine harvest efficiency of cotton (Gossypium hirusutum L.), prevent lodging and reduce the time from defoliation to harvest. Coronatine (COR) is a chlorosis-inducing non-host-specific phytotoxin that induces leaf and/or fruit abscission in some crops. The present study investigates how COR might induce cotton leaf abscission by modulating genes involved in cell wall h...

The morphology of cotton leaves varies considerably. Phenotypes, including okra, sea-island, super-okra, and broad leaf, are controlled by a multiple allele locus, L2 Okra leaf (L2°) is an incomplete mutation that alters leaf shape by increasing the length of lobes with deeper sinuses. Using a map-based cloning strategy, we cloned the L2 locus gene, which encodes a LATE MERISTEM IDENTITY 1 (LMI...

background: gossypium arboreum is resistant to cotton leaf curl burewala virus and its cognate cotton leaf curl multan betasatellite (clcubuv and clcumb). however, the g. arboreum wax deficient mutant (gawm3) is susceptible to clcuv. therefore, epicuticular wax was characterized both quantitatively and qualitatively for its role as physical barrier against whitefly mediated viral transmission a...

Early detection of crop injury from herbicide glyphosate is of significant importance in crop management. In this paper, we attempt to detect glyphosate-induced crop injury by PROSPECT (leaf optical PROperty SPECTra model) inversion through leaf hyperspectral reflectance measurements for non-GlyphosateResistant (non-GR) soybean and non-GR cotton leaves. The PROSPECT model was inverted to retrie...

Gumber and Ramandeep Singh Punjab Agricultural University, Regional Station, India Cotton is one of the most important cash crops in India. Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) , caused by a single stranded circular Gemini virus consisting of DNA A and two sat...
