Effect of Planting Date and Boll Position on Fiber Strength of Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Zhiguo Zhou, Yali Meng, Youhua Wang, Binglin Chen, Xinhua Zhao, Derrick M. Oosterhuis & Hongmei Shu · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2011

The effect of planting date and boll position on cell wall thickening of cotton fiber and development of fiber strength were studied by comparing the time course of the activity of key enzymes β-1,3-glucan synthase (callose) and sucrose synthase (SuSy) involved in cellulose biosy...

Effect of Nitrogen Rates and Flowering Dates on Fiber Quality of Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Wenqing Zhao, Youhua Wang, Zhiguo Zhou, Yali Meng, Binglin Chen & Derrick M. Oosterhuis · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2012

 Nitrogen (N) supply during boll setting and maturation period of cotton can be critical in determining fiber quality. The study aims to investigate the relationship between N rates and formation of fiber length, strength, maturity and micronaire in bolls with different flowering...
