BACKGROUND Cotton fiber, a natural fiber widely used in the textile industry, is differentiated from single cell of ovule epidermis. A large number of genes are believed to be involved in fiber formation, but so far only a few fiber genes have been isolated and functionally characterized in this developmental process. The Kinesin13 subfamily was found to play key roles during cell division and ...

Abstract Background Cotton stem trichomes and seed fibers are each single celled structures formed by protrusions of epidermal cells, were found sharing the overlapping molecular mechanism. Compared with fibers, cotton more easily observed, but mechanisms underlying their development still poorly understood. Results In this study, Gossypium hirsutum ( Gh ) G. barbadense Gb) to differ greatly in...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fibers are single-celled seed coat hairs that elongate up to 2mm per day during a phase of rapid growth. Recent evidence suggests this growth is orchestrated by a series of events which includes temporary closure of plasmodesmata.

This study focuses on the development and characterization of pigeon pea stalk/cotton fibers mixed with a blend ratio 50/50, 70/30, 30/70, 60/40, 100/0 waste cotton 0/100 stalk composites are equipped compression molding system. The entire composite samples tested for acoustics, thermal physical parameters as per American Society Testing Materials standard (ASTM). sound absorption coefficients ...

This study aims to investigate the utilization of recycled textile waste fiber (RTWF) as reinforcement in cementitious lightweight composite mortars. The effect RTWF percentage on mortar (CLCM) consistency, plastic and dry set density, splitting tensile compressive strength was measured. In particular, structural mechanical properties hardened examined detail. Mohr-Coulomb Failure Criterion use...

Cotton is the most important textile crop as a result of its long cellulose-enriched mature fibers. These single-celled hairs initiate at anthesis from the ovule epidermis. To date, genes proven to be critical for fiber development have not been identified. Here, we examined the role of the sucrose synthase gene (Sus) in cotton fiber and seed by transforming cotton with Sus suppression construc...

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an important crop plant that is widely grown to produce both natural textile fibers and cottonseed oil. Cotton fibers, the economically more important product of the cotton plant, are seed trichomes derived from individual cells of the epidermal layer of the seed coat. It has been known for a long time that large numbers of genes determine the development of cotton fi...

Immunohistochemistry revealed the presence of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-, neuropeptide Y (NPY)-, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)- and substance P (SP)-immunoreactive nerve fibers and SP-immunoreactive neuronal cell bodies in the pineal gland of the cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus). Abundant TH- and NPY-immunoreactive fibers were distributed evenly throughout the gland; less numerous CGRP- ...
