Radiation Use Efficiency of Okra- and Normal-Leaf Cotton Isolines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Leaf shapes of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) range from highly divided leaves (okra leaf) to normal leaf shape (Meredith, 1 ). The variation in leaf shape results in differences in canopy architecture and light interception characteristics (Wells and Meredith, 1 ). Heitholt et al. (1 ) described higher yields of okra leaf isolines for a given amount of intercepted radiation, indicating that the okra leaf types utilized intercepted radiation more efficiently than the normal-leaf types. However, no values of radiation use efficiency have been reported comparing cotton isolines.

Physiological Response of Okra- and Normal-Leaf Cotton Isolines at Two Temperature Regimes
Variations in leaf shape range from highly divided leaves (okra leaf) to normalleaf shape (Meredith, 1 ). Heitholt et al. (1 ) described higher yields of okra-leaf isolines for a given amount of intercepted radiation, indicating that the okra-leaf types utilized more efficiently the intercepted radiation than the normal-leaf types. However, information on physiological parameters of the cotton ...
متن کاملMajor Leaf Shapes of Cotton: Genetics and Agronomic Effects in Crop Production
There exist four major leaf shape alleles in tetraploid cotton: normal, sub-okra/Sea-Island, okra, and super-okra. This allelic series has long served as a model genetic locus both in cotton and the broader leaf development research community. Over the years, numerous studies have attributed various production advantages to specific leaf shapes. The objective of this study was to provide a comp...
متن کاملCanopy photosynthesis and its relationship to plant productivity in near-isogenic cotton lines differing in leaf morphology.
A 2-year study was conducted to determine the relationships between plant canopy photosynthesis, canopy light interception, and plant productivity of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) exhibiting differing leaf morphologies. The near-isogenic lines were from a single background (MD 65-11) and represented the leaf shapes Normal (small leaf lobing), Sub-Okra (intermediate leaf lobing), Okra (large le...
متن کاملBemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) biotype B colonization on okra- and normal-leaf upland cotton strains and cultivars.
We compared smooth-leaf okra- and normal-leaf upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) strains and cultivars for susceptibility to colonization by Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) biotype B. Experiments were conducted at seven field sites, five at Holtville, CA, and two at Maricopa, AZ, during 1996-2000. Okra-leaf strains and cultivars, as a group, had lower numbers of adults, eggs, and nymphs compared ...
متن کاملInsights into Interspecific Hybridization Events in Allotetraploid Cotton Formation from Characterization of a Gene-Regulating Leaf Shape.
The morphology of cotton leaves varies considerably. Phenotypes, including okra, sea-island, super-okra, and broad leaf, are controlled by a multiple allele locus, L2 Okra leaf (L2°) is an incomplete mutation that alters leaf shape by increasing the length of lobes with deeper sinuses. Using a map-based cloning strategy, we cloned the L2 locus gene, which encodes a LATE MERISTEM IDENTITY 1 (LMI...
