To enrich our knowledge about gene network of fatty acid biosynthesis in cottonseed, we conducted comparative transcriptome to reveal the differences in gene expression between Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense during cottonseed development. The prolonged expression period and increased expression abundance of oil-related genes are the ma...
Abstract Genetically modified plants are one of the tactics used in integrated pest management - IPM. There is great concern about the impact of these plants on non-target organisms. On the other hand, there is little information in the literature on the effects of transgenics (Bacillus thuringiensis) Bt on populations of phytophagous mites, and th...

AbstractStructural analyses of powder cellulose from various herbaceous plants, including microcrystalline and nanocellulose, produced using modified extruder, are carried out via an FTIR spectroscopy method.
IZVLEČEK Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti najprimernejšo metodo nanosa nanodelcev cinkovega oksida (nano-ZnO) na beljeno in mercerizirano bombažno tkanino in s plinsko plazmo povečati njihovo adsorpcijo na površino tkanine ter s tem doseči odlično zaščito pred ultravijoličnim (UV) sevanjem. Za določanje najprimernejše metode nanosa nano-ZnO smo upo...

Many plant bugs (Miridae) are generalist herbivores that feed on multiple host species. The reasons these bugs move across hosts and the behavioural mechanisms responsible for their retention at specific hosts remain elusive. Green mirids (Creontiades dilutus) are endemic to Australia. These insects are important pests of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum...

The leaf is a crucial organ evolved with remarkable morphological diversity to maximize plant photosynthesis. The leaf shape is a key trait that affects photosynthesis, flowering rates, disease resistance and yield. Although many genes regulating leaf development have been identified in the past years, the precise regulatory architecture underlying...

Mepiquat chloride (MC) is the most important plant growth retardant that is widely used in cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) production to suppress excessive vegetative growth and improve plant architecture. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important gene expression regulators that control plant growth and development. However, miRNA-mediated post-transcriptio...

The purposes of the current research were to deposit the silver nanoparticles on the surface of a textile woven fabric and evaluate their dyeing performance and antibacterial activity. The synthesis of silver nanoparticle (Ag°) is done by the in situ method. Strong alkali is used to improve functionality of cellulose before the application of silve...

Verticillium dahliae Kleb., the causal pathogen of vascular wilt, can seriously reduce the yield and quality of many crops, including cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum ). To control the harm caused by V. dahliae , considering the environmental pollution of chemical fungicides and their residues, the strategy of plant nutrition regulation is becoming incr...
