Field experiments were conducted in 2012 and 2013 during drought conditions in South Texas and the Texas High Plains to test whether cotton water-deficit stress, age, and cultivars are moderating and interacting factors that affect cotton fleahopper, Pseudatomoscelis seriatus (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae), abundance and yield loss. Irrigation and sequential plantings of several cultivars were u...

Inverted-repeat-based gene constructs targeted against two key cotton seed-specific fatty acid desaturase genes, ghSAD-1, encoding stearoylacvl carrier protein delta9-desaturase and ghFAD2-1, encoding microsomal omega-6 desaturase, were transformed into cotton. The expression of ghSAD-1 and ghFAD2-1 in the inverted-repeat orientation resulted in increased levels of stearic and oleic acids, resp...

To the Editor, Tnti Indian Mhdicat, Gazette. Sik,?I shall be much obliged if readers of your journal will suggest the best lines of treatment for the following case:? A Hindu male, aged 36 years, shopkeeper by profession, has been the subject of asthmatic fits since lie was 9 years of age. The attack is brought on by the inhalation of cotton seeds, and is relieved by injections of liquor adrena...

Pre-harvest precipitation in some years many cotton-growing regions may adversely affect cotton yield and quality. The effect of carpel characters cultivars on fall out (ground losses) free fatty acid seed under different amounts were investigated. experiment was arranged a two-factor Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. x cultivar interaction for depth, content significant....

Background: Gossypium hirsutum, the most widely cultivated crop in world has concurrent importance for both fibre quality and yield. Polygenes regulate cotton output a variety of factors affect characteristic. As result, it is essential to have thorough knowledge relationships between different component traits quality. Thus, aim study was framed know about correlation along with cause-and-effe...

Crop rotation has been practiced for centuries in an effort to improve agricultural yield. However, the directions, magnitudes, and mechanisms of the yield effects of various crop rotations remain poorly understood in many systems. In order to better understand how crop rotation influences cotton yield, we used hierarchical Bayesian models to analyze a large ecoinformatics database consisting o...

Lesquerella, Physaria fendleri (A. Gray) S. Watson, is a mustard native to the western United States and is currently being developed as a commercial source of valuable hydroxy fatty acids that can be used in a number of industrial applications, including biolubricants, biofuel additives, motor oils, resins, waxes, nylons, plastics, corrosion inhibitors, cosmetics, and coatings. The plant is cu...

Cottonseed, oil, and protein, as the by-products of cotton production, have the potential to provide commodities to meet the increasing demand of renewable bio-fuels and ruminant feed. An increase in crop yield per unit area requires high-yielding cultivar management with an economic nitrogen (N) rate, an optimal N application schedule, high-yielding plant populations and strong seedlings. Whet...
