THE BEHAVIOR OF SOME COTTON (GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM) GENOTYPES UNDER SANDY SOIL CONDITIONS IN SOUTHERN OLTENIA

Genetics of resistance to cotton leaf curl disease in Gossypium hirsutum L. under field conditions.

One hundred and forty two cotton germplasm lines were screened for cotton leaf curl virus symptoms in field evaluations during 2003, 2004, and 2005. Fifty cross combinations involving 30 of these lines classified resistant or susceptible were used for inheritance study of the disease. All the F(1) plants of crosses involving resistant x resistant, resistant x susceptible, and susceptible x resi...

Physiological Mechanism of Nitrogen Mediating Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Seedlings Growth under Water-Stress Conditions

The objective of this investigation was to study the effects of nitrogen on tolerance to water-stress in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seedlings. Growth chamber studies with pots of washed sand were carried out in Fayetteville, USA, and Nanjing, Chinawith three water conditions (well-watered, drought-stressed, and waterlogging), and three nitrogen rates, low nitrogen (16 mM, approximately 224 ...

The biology and ecology of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) in Australia

genetic analysis of yield and some associated traits in upland cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.) genotypes

in this study six genotypes of upland cotton (g. hirsutum l.) were crossed in a half diallel (6×6) mating fashion. the parents and f1s were planted in a complete randomized block design with three replications at the hashemabad cotton research station (gorgan) in 2005. cotton yield and some agronomic traits were evaluated. analysis of variance showed that differences due to genotypes were signi...

Flavonoid Profile of the Cotton Plant, Gossypium hirsutum: A Review

Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., is a plant fibre of significant economic importance, with seeds providing an additional source of protein in human and animal nutrition. Flavonoids play a vital role in maintaining plant health and function and much research has investigated the role of flavonoids in plant defence and plant vigour and the influence these have on cotton production. As part of ongoi...
