Indonesia is among the largest countries in global rice production. Annual generation of straw about 20 million tons were reported. It therefore, utilization as natural dye considered to minimize pollutant problem. Rice composed 48.7% carbon that generate black color. In this research, dyes ash applied cotton and rayon fabrics, followed by mordanting using lime, alum, ferrous sulphate. The colo...

Dyeing properties of different fabric species were investigated using leaf extract Juglans regia L. For this purpose, the cotton and wool fabrics dyed brown napthaquinon colorant extracted from walnut leaves by pre-mordanting, meta-mordanting post-mordanting methods in presence copper sulfate (CuSO4.5H2O), ferrous (FeSO4.7H2O) alum (AIK(SO4)2.12H2O) at medium pH. Color codes determined with Pan...

LIN-11, Isl1 and MEC-3 (LIM)-domain proteins play pivotal roles in a variety of cellular processes in animals, but plant LIM functions remain largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate dual roles of the WLIM1a gene in fiber development in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). WLIM1a is preferentially expressed during the elongation and secondary wall synthesis stages in developing fibers. Overexpre...

Fe deficiency causes significant losses to crop productivity and quality. To understand better the mechanisms of plant responses to Fe deficiency, we used an in vitro cotton ovule culture system. We found that Fe deficiency suppressed the development of ovules and fibers, and led to tissue browning. RNA-seq analysis showed that the myo-inositol and galacturonic acid pathways were activated and ...

With cotton fiber growth or maturation, cellulose content in cotton fibers markedly increases. Traditional chemical methods have been developed to determine cellulose content, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, mostly owing to the slow hydrolysis process of fiber cellulose components. As one approach, the attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR) spectroscopy...

Cotton is the bulkiest sink of natural textile fiber and a main oilseed crop, with extensive scientific, environmental, and socio-economic footsteps. Cotton fiber is a highly elongated seed hair with a secondary wall composed of almost pure cellulose. Development of cotton fibers is positively affected by a number of phytohormones including auxin, gibberellins and brassinosteroids (BRs) [1,2]. ...

The roles of non-cellulosic polysaccharides in cotton fiber development are poorly understood. Combining glycan microarrays and in situ analyses with monoclonal antibodies, polysaccharide linkage analyses and transcript profiling, the occurrence of heteromannan and heteroxylan polysaccharides and related genes in developing and mature cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers has been determined. Comparat...

Fiber extracted from castor plant is a bast fiber like hemp, jute, flax and kenaf. Based on the chemical constitutes; physical properties of these eco-friendly fibers agro waste are used in making different materials union fabrics reinforcement materials. In present study, was dyed with Eclipta prostrata extract evaluated for colorfastness color strength properties. The pre, simultaneous post-m...
