Chromosome segment substitution lines MBI9804, MBI9855, MBI9752, and MBI9134, which were obtained by advanced backcrossing and continuously inbreeding from an interspecific cross between CCRI36, a cultivar of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) as the recurrent parent, and Hai1, a cultivar of sea island cotton (G. barbadense) as the donor parent, were used to construct a multiple parent populati...

Cotton fibers can be used to produce nonwovens suitable for numerous single use applications including hygiene, wipes, and medical products among others. comprises a relatively small amount of total raw materials in production compared the synthetic polyester polypropylene, but cotton continues increase due demand disposable containing natural, sustainable, biodegradable materials. However, rel...

Cotton fiber properties, although strongly influenced by plant growth conditions, are largely dictated the cotton variety; therefore, certain inherent associations exist among these properties. Previous studies examined mutual influences of properties (e.g., maturity on strength), but latent between length and other important fineness, strength) have not been explored. This paper attempted to i...

Practical solutions to optimise nitrogen use efficiency within modern surface irrigated cotton systems in Australia may be possible by regulating the frequency of water and reducing N applied, compared with typical current practises. A two-year study examined effect irrigating at three different deficits that applied a similar total irrigation volume: >?60 kPa (HF), between ?80 ?100 (IF) ?120 (...

To optimize suitable water-saving and soil salt-controlling irrigation needed for the high yield good quality of cotton in southern Xinjiang, a field experiment was carried out to study effects water lower limits on consumption, use efficiency (WUE), yield, fiber salt accumulation under mulched drip Korla, Xinjiang. The capacity (FC) regarded as upper limit moisture, five (85% FC, 75% 65% 55% 4...

Traditionally, ideal cotton (Gossypium ssp.) fibers are said to be as white as snow, as strong as steel, as fine as silk and as long as wool. It is difficult to incorporate these specifications favored by cotton processors into a breeding program or to set them as quantitative goals for cotton producers. Since the 36 JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE, Volume 4, Issue 1, 2000 early 1980s in the USA, the...

Nutrient (N) stress affects cotton growth, primary physiological processes andfiber properties. This study utilized two sunlit growth chambers to compare cotton(cv. TM-1) responses to two levels of N nutrition imposed at the onset of floweringstage of development, 100 and 0% of optimum N, in plants grown under otherwiseoptimal temperature and soil moisture conditions. Flowers and bolls were tag...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yield and quality responses to irrigation have not been described for conservation management systems that growers are rapidly adopting. We conducted a field experiment from 2001–2003 in the Tennessee Valley near Belle Mina, AL on a Decatur silt loam (fine, kaolinitic, thermic Rhodic Paleudults) to examine how irrigation regimes and tillage systems affect ginning ...

cotton is one of the most important crops in the world and increasing cotton yield is the main goal in the cotton industry. one important factor for crop improvement is increasing produced fibers by each developing seed. it is very interesting to manipulate fiber properties such as length, micronaire, color and strength which necessitate cotton ovule culture.  ovule culture is used as a tool to...

The molecular genetic basis of cotton fiber strength and fineness in crosses between Gossypium mustelinum and Gossypium hirsutum (Upland cotton) was dissected using 21 BC3F2 and 12 corresponding BC3F2:3 and BC3F2:4 families. The BC3F2 families were genotyped with simple sequence repeat markers from a G. hirsutum by G. mustelinum linkage map, and the three generations of BC3-derived families wer...
