Bagasse is a waste generated in abundance from the sugarcane industry. This investigation was planned to convert bagasse into useful composite. For this purpose obtained sugar cane juice producer. In study, extraction of fibers done manually and they were treated with sodium hydroxide. The had higher tensile properties as compared untreated ones, so alkali used reinforcement for making composit...

This applicable research has successful selected enzyme Ctec2 from Novozyme (Denmark) which gave the best cellulose degradation activity compared to the other enzymes. At optimum conditions of 50 o C, pH=5 and ratio between enzyme and substrate (E/S) being 0.40%, 0.45%, 0.50%, the time needed to substrate degrade was 60 hours. Based on this finding, a new cotton waste composting technology for ...

Historically, the primary objective of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) breeding programs was to improve the quantity and quality of cotton fiber. Because of the added value of cottonseed and its many uses, including a feed and human food source, there is interest in developing cotton breeding programs that focus improvement efforts simultaneously on cotton fiber and seed. Genetic analysis of cot...

COBRA-Like (COBL) genes, which encode a plant-specific glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored protein, have been proven to be key regulators in the orientation of cell expansion and cellulose crystallinity status. Genome-wide analysis has been performed in A. thaliana, O. sativa, Z. mays and S. lycopersicum, but little in Gossypium. Here we identified 19, 18 and 33 candidate COBL genes fro...

Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) is a key enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate and plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, such as cell expansion, wall thickening and cell elongation. Although individual genes belonging to MDH gene family have been partially identified in various plants, there have been no reports of a genome-wide characterization of th...

Cotton is unusual among major crops in that large acreages are grown under both irrigated and rainfed conditions, making genotype x environment interactions of even greater importance than usual in designing crop-improvement strategies. We describe the impact of well-watered versus water-limited growth conditions on the genetic control of fiber quality, a complex suite of traits that collective...

In the modern world, importance and volumes of packaging produced are constantly increasing. It is a powerful means promoting goods on market, but at same time, role its quality increases. Currently, paper paperboard not only significant part market in general, also large world’s consumption. world pays special attention to use secondary waste for production cardboard increase volume their proc...

Cotton is the most important textile crop in the world due to its cellulose-enriched fibers. Sucrose synthase genes (Sus) play pivotal roles in cotton fiber and seed development. To mine and pyramid more favorable alleles for cotton molecular breeding, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of GhSus family genes were investigated across 277 upland cotton accessions by EcoTILLING. As a result, a...

Cotton fiber is renewable natural fiber source for textile. Improving fiber quality is an essential goal for cotton breeding project. In present study, F14 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was backcrossed by the maternal parent to obtain a backcross (BC) population, derived from one Upland cotton hybrid. Three repetitive field trials were performed by randomized complete block design wi...

background: cotton is the main agricultural export product in benin. cotton dust is thus present in the air during the handling and processing of cotton. this dust contains a mixture of substances including ground up plant matter, fibres, bacteria, fungi, soil, pesticides, noncotton matter, and other contaminants. while cotton processing is decreasing in industrialized countries, it is increasi...
