Reflectance spectra of cotton fiber samples having different fiber quality levels were measured with a high‐resolution spectrophotometer, processed with waveband averaging and wavelet analysis, and then related to micronaire with multiple linear regression. Regression models indicated that micronaire had a close relationship (R2 = 0.89) with reflectance at seven 100 nm wavebands (1120, 1296, 15...

management practices can affect the yield, maturity, and fiber quality of cotton. one practice used to increase yield has been to adjust the spacing between cotton rows. typically cotton is planted in row spaced 70-100 cm apart. ultra narrow row cotton production has been proposed as an economical means to increase yields and reduce production costs. a field study was conducted to assess the ef...

BACKGROUND Cotton fiber, a natural fiber widely used in the textile industry, is differentiated from single cell of ovule epidermis. A large number of genes are believed to be involved in fiber formation, but so far only a few fiber genes have been isolated and functionally characterized in this developmental process. The Kinesin13 subfamily was found to play key roles during cell division and ...

Natural dyestuffs, which took the place of synthetic dyestuffs in past, have started to be used consciously again thanks increasing understanding 'environmentally friendly textile'. These natural are mostly obtained from plants or food waste. Coffee is most consumed nutrient world after water. Therefore, there a lot waste coffee nature and it contains pigments that give its color. In this study...

correlated with soil organic matter, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn. Fiber quality was correlated with soil Mg, K, Cu, To maximize profitability, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) producand As. Elms et al. (1997) reported that yield in an ers must attempt to control the quality of the crop while maximizing irrigated cotton field in Texas displayed spatial correlayield. The objective of this research was to...

BACKGROUND Cotton is commonly used during ophthalmic surgical procedure. Cotton fibers may get attracted to the instruments due to electrostatic forces and become adhered to the surface. With the introduction of these instruments during the surgical procedure cotton fiber may get entry into the eye. In the literature they have been infrequently reported due to insignificant effect on the ocular...

Low potassium (K)-induced premature senescence in cotton has been observed worldwide, but how it affects cotton fiber properties remain unclear. We hypothesized that K deficiency affects cotton fiber properties by causing disordered fiber development, which may in turn be caused by the induction of a carbohydrate acquisition difficulty. To investigate this issue, we employed a low-K-sensitive c...

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 ...

Methane was generated from cotton waste, while considering its pollution in textile industries. Cotton waste includes solid content and is rich in cellulose having a moisture content of 8.8%. It is difficult to form slurry as the waste float on water and hence an experimental set up has been made like a batch type digester and experiments were conducted with a different proposition of water wit...

Arginase is the only enzyme capable of producing urea in plants. This enzyme also contributes to many important biological functions during plant growth and development, such as seed development, root development and plant nitrogen using. The unique rice arginase gene OsARG is known to affect nitrogen use efficiency and is also associated with higher yields in rice. In this study, we transforme...
