vide a promising method of streamlining plant breeding programs (Kohel et al., 2001; Lawson et al., 1997; Mohan Cotton fiber is a basic raw material in the textile industry. All et al., 1997). In 1999-2000, we used a G. anomalum the changes in spinning technology require unique and often greater Wawra ex Wawra & Peyritch introgression line 7235, cotton fiber quality, especially strength, for pr...

Five upland cotton cultivars were crossed in a complete diallel crossing system to investigate inheritance pattern and combining ability of parents for different fiber quality traits like staple length, fiber strength, fineness and uniformity. The study was carried out in the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during the years 2005-07. Highly signif...

the effects of irrigation methods, various levels of water and nitrogen fertilizer on quality of cotton were studied at hashemabad cotton research station of gorgan in 2008. the experiment was conducted in split-split plot design with three replications. irrigation methods of furrow and sprinkler were main plots, various levels of water of 0%, 33%, 66%, 100% and 133% were subplots plots and var...

The number of transgenic cotton cultivars available for commercial production has increased greatly in recent years. Cotton producers now have multiple choices when choosing transgenic cotton cultivars. The choice of cultivar now dictates the insect and weed control programs that will or can be used. It is estimated that, in 2002, 55% of Arkansas’ cotton acreage was planted to a stacked-gene cu...

Cotton fiber is an important natural textile fiber due to its exceptional length and thickness. These properties arise largely through primary and secondary cell wall synthesis. The cotton fiber of commerce is a cellulosic secondary wall surrounded by a thin cuticulated primary wall, but there were only sparse details available about the polysaccharides in the fiber cell wall of any cotton spec...
