Abstract:
The high volume instrument (HVITM) instrumental leaf grade index has been accepted in both domestic and international cotton fiber trading. There is interest in how trash content in cotton samples impact the HVI measurements. In this investigation, HVI micronaire attribute was measured on commercial cotton bales representing instrumental leaf grade categories one to six, pre- and post- Shirley Analyzer (SA) cleaning process. The SA system was used since it is a traditional gravimetric cotton trash reference method, and also plays a role as a small-scale cotton trash cleaner. This study first e

Optimum quality from cotton at the textile mill depends on the need for improvements in a number of handling areas. Processing and yarn quality problems sometimes occur through overdrying practices. Excessive heating of cotton causes discoloration (yellowing), reductions in strength, and increased fiber breakage. The severity of damage increases as exposure time and temperature increase. Chemical and physical tests were conducted on heated cottons of high, medium, and low Micronaires to determine changes that may affect cotton processability and overall quality.

Bt cotton is genetically modified by the insertion of one or more genes from a common soil bacterium, <em>Bacillus thuringiensis</em>. These genes encode for the production of insecticidal proteins, and thus, genetically transformed plants produce one or more toxins as they grow. The genes those are inserted into cotton produce toxins, named Cry 1Ac, are limited in activity almost exclusively to caterpillar pests (Lepidoptera). However, other strains of <em>Bacillus thuringiensis </em>have genes that encode for toxins with insecticidal activity on some beetles (Coleoptera) and flies (Diptera).

Abstract:
Roller ginning provided the first mechanical means of separating cotton lint from seed. The first true roller gin was the Churka gin, which produced up to 2.3 kg (5.0 lb) of lint/day. In 1840, the McCarthy gin was invented to gin extra-long-staple (ELS) cotton. Although the ginning capacity of the McCarthy gin was a major improvement over the Churka gin, capacity was limited to about 18 kg (40 lb) of lint per hour. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, a rotary-knife roller gin was developed. The rotary-knife roller gin had a ginning rate 12 times higher than the McCarthy gin, though the rotary k

The soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker), is an occasional pest of cotton and an annual pest of soybean in the southern United States. The development of resistance by soybean looper to the Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner Cry1Ac protein in Bollgard® cotton could potentially influence the efficacy of foliar B. thuringiensis products in soybean. Soybean looper larvae and pupae collected from plots of Bollgard cotton weighed less than larvae and pupae collected from non-Bollgard cotton.

The development and application of cropping system simulation models for cotton production has a long and rich history, beginning in the southeastern U.

Abstract:
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is an important enzyme in plants, which regulates carbon flow through the TCA cycle and controls protein and oil biosynthesis. Although it is important, there is little research on PEPC in cotton, the most important fiber crop in the world. In this study, a total of 125 PEPCs were identified in 15 Gossypium genomes. All PEPC genes in cotton are divided into six groups and each group generally contains one PEPC member in each diploid cotton and two in each tetraploid cotton. This suggests that PEPC genes already existed in cotton before their divergence. T

Seed coat fragments (SCF) are difficult to remove from ginned lint. Cotton genotypes vary in SCF levels, but details are lacking regarding the cause of SCF.

Fiber length is one of the major properties determining the quality and commercial value of cotton. To understand the mechanisms regulating fiber length, genetic variations of cotton species and mutants producing short fibers have been compared with cultivated cottons generating long and normal fibers. However, their phenomic variation other than fiber length has not been well characterized. Therefore, we compared physical and chemical properties of the short fibers with the long fibers. Fiber characteristics were compared in two sets: 1) wild diploid Gossypium raimondii Ulbrich (short fibers)
