Evaluation of rotation varieties strategies to control reniform nematode in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
… of the most important pathogens associated with cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yield losses in Texas. In the United States, currently 17 states are producers of cotton (Gossypium spp.), with Texas being the main producer. Approximately 60 % of the total production in the United States is produced …

Plastidial carbonic anhydrase in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.): characterization, expression, and role in lipid biosynthesis
… enzymes were isolated from a nonphotosynthetic cotton tissue. The role of CA in photosynthetic tissues have been well characterized, however there is almost no information for the role of CA in nonphotosynthetic tissues. A survey of relative CA transcript abundance and enzyme activity in …

Evaluation of injury and management strategies for stink bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) on cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L.
… on pre-flowering, flowering, and senescing cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., plants were evaluated in field studies. Vegetative stage seedlings and flower buds (squares) were not significantly injured by adults or nymphs of either species in no-choice studies. Brown stink bug adults induced …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) Termination and Integration of Halauxifen into Virginia Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Production
… chickweed (Cerastium L.). Little is known of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) tolerance to halauxifen applied preplant burndown. Results indicate cotton is more tolerant to halauxifen than 2,4-D or dicamba when the interval between preplant application and cotton planting is less than 30 days.

Quantitative trait loci mapping for agronomic and fiber quality traits in Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) using molecular markers
The breeding of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars that combine high yield and fiber quality is a major challenge to the breeder. The understanding of the quantitative trait loci (QTL) contributing to agronomic and fiber quality traits offers an excellent route to solve this problem. A …

Palmitoyl-acyl Carrier Protein Thioesterase in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.): Biochemical and Molecular Characterization of a Major Mechanism for the Regulation of Palmitic Acid Content
… high level of palmitic acid (22 mol%) in cottonseeds may be due in part to the activity of a palmitoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) thioesterase (PATE). In embryo extracts, PATE activity was highest at the maximum rate of reserve accumulation (oil and protein). The cotton FatB mRNA …

The mechanism of selectivity and site of action of clomazone in tolerant-soybean and susceptible-cotton photomixotrophic cell suspension cultures
… in tolerant soybean (SB-M) and susceptible-cotton (Gossypium hirsutum (L.), COT-M) photomixotrophic cell suspension cultures.

Identification and quantification of lipid metabolites in cotton fibers: Reconciliation with metabolic pathway predictions from DNA databases.
The lipid composition of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, L) fibers was determined. Fatty acid profiles revealed that linolenate and palmitate were the most abundant fatty acids present in fiber cells. Phosphatidylcholine was the predominant lipid class in fiber cells, while phosphatidylethanolamine, …

Individual Experiments to Evaluate the Effects of Plant Population and Planting Date, Cultivar and Plant Growth Regulator Application, and Herbicide and Plant Growth Regulator Application on Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Growth and Development, Yield, and Fiber Quality
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growth and development, lint yield, and fiber quality are influenced by many management decisions. Three field experiments examining the interaction of plant population and planting date, and cultivar or herbicide and plant growth regulator application on these …

Heat Stress Effects on Cotton During Reproductive Development and Subsequent Acclimation Responses
… States due to its wide regional influence. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) though a tropical plant in origin, it is sensitive to the effects of high temperature. This is of particular concern when the warmest temperatures coincide with the most sensitive developmental stage of flowering. …

Genotypic and Environmental Effects on Soybean Canopy Photosynthesis
… grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), and soybean to determine if it was related to an increase in the ambient air vapor pressure deficit (VPD) causing stomatal closure. Grain sorghum was found to be more sensitive photosynthetically to the VPD increase …

Decision Support Software for Palmer Amaranth Weed Control
… weeds, specifically for corn (Zea mays L.), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] producers in the southern United States. The use of herbicide technology remains the most widely used method of weed control, despite the evolution of herbicide-resistant Palmer …

Incorporating the Experimental Herbicide CGA 362622 into Cotton Weed Management Programs in Virginia
As the importance of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) to Virginia crop growers has increased, so has the need for more efficient weed control programs. Current cotton herbicides do not control all broadleaf weeds over the entire growing season, and many cotton herbicides must be applied at specific …
