Digitalization of agriculture bring controllable industrial production and computer-aided design ideas into agriculture, NURBS curves and surfaces is described freedom of widely popular technology, CAD systems are widely used. Method can be easily applied to generate curves, surfaces with NURBS. In this paper, we have developed model of cotton organs using NURBS surface, present a introduction ...

A detailed knowledge of cell wall heterogeneity and complexity is crucial for understanding plant growth and development. One key challenge is to establish links between polysaccharide-rich cell walls and their phenotypic characteristics. It is of particular interest for some plant material, like cotton fibers, which are of both biological and industrial importance. To this end, we attempted to...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the most important non-food plant in the world. Studies concerning the fiber quality and plant fitness of cotton at molecular level depend on high sensitive and reproducible gene-expression assays. However, only a few reports have described genes suitable for normalizing gene expression data. In this study, we report for the first time that microRNAs (miRNAs) are ...

Plant height, which shows dynamic development and heterosis, is a major trait affecting plant architecture and has an indirect influence on economic yield related to biological yield in cotton. In the present study, we carried out dynamic analysis for plant height and its heterosis by quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping at multiple developmental stages using two recombinant inbred lines (RILs...

There is a lack of sufficient information on cotton responses to time and amount of foliar application of potassium (K) under salt stress environment, The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of potassium (as Solupotasse 50% K2O and 18% S) rate and application time on yield and yield components of cotton under saline field condition. A factorial experiment based on randomized ...

Genetically modified, insect-resistant Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton is cultivated extensively in Pakistan. Past studies, however, have raised concerns about the prevalence of Bt cotton varieties possessing weak or nonperforming insect-resistance traits conferred by the cry gene. We examine this issue using data drawn from a representative sample of cotton-growing households that were surv...

The insecticide TrimaxTM is registered specifically for use in cotton for control of the major sucking/piercing insects. In addition, Trimax also appears to provide lint yield and plant growth-enhancing properties, especially under conditions of environmental stress. This study was designed to provide information on physiological and biochemical changes occurring in cotton plants grown under in...

Production of improved varieties of cotton for export and local consumption, establishment of ginneries, farm to plant transport services, storage and handling facilities, production of chemicals including natural dyes, industrial starch, caustic soda, hydrochlorides and other finishing chemicals as well as production of textiles. Cotton production has been selected as one of the special Presid...

Bollgard cotton is the trademark given to a number of varieties of cotton bio-engineered to produce an insecticidal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). When produced by the modified cotton plants, this protein controls certain lepidopterous cotton insect pests. Commercially available since 1996, these cotton varieties are purchased under a license agreement in which the growers pay a fee ...
