JCR | A review of the pathogenicity mechanism of Verticillium dahliae in cotton
By
Fan Qin
on
Mar 3, 2022
[Abstract] Verticillium wilt, caused by the notorious fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae, is one of the main limiting factors for cotton production. Due to the stable dormant structure microsclerotia, long-term variability and co-evolution with host plant, its pathogenicity mechanism is very complicated, and the interaction mechanism between path...

Mar 3, 2022
[Background] Nitrogen (N) is a required macronutrient for cotton growth and productivity. Excessive N fertilizers are applied in agriculture for crop yield maximization, which also generates environmental pollution. Improving crop N use efficiency (NUE) is the most economical and desirable way of reducing fertilizer application and environmental po...

on
Feb 21, 2022
[Background] Gossypium hirsutum (upland cotton) is one of the principal fiber crops in the world. Cotton yield is highly affected by abiotic stresses, among which salt stress is considered as a major problem around the globe. Transgenic approach is efficient to improve cotton salt tolerance but depending on the availability of salt tolerance genes....
JCR | Genotypic variation in root morphology, cotton subtending leaf physiology and fiber quality against nitrogen

Fan Qin
on
Dec 13, 2021
[Background] Nitrogen (N) is important for improving various morphological and physiological processes of cotton but their contribution to fiber quality is still lacking. [Aims] The current study aimed to explore the relationship between root morphology, subtending leaf physiology, and fiber quality of contrasting N-efficient cotton genotypes in...
JCR | The effects of straw-returning and inorganic K fertilizer on the carbon–nitrogen balance and reproductive growth of cotton
By
Fan Qin
on
Dec 8, 2021
[Background] Many studies have indicated that straw-returning could meet part or even all of the potassium (K) demand for crop growth in the field, but few have compared the effects of crop straw as K source and inorganic K fertilizer on carbon–nitrogen (C–N) balance of cotton and the reproductive growth. To address this, field experiments were con...
JCR | Effect of vapour pressure deficit on gas exchange of field-grown cotton
By
Fan Qin
on
Dec 8, 2021
[Background] Plants respond to changes in vapour pressure deficit (VPD) between the leaf and the atmosphere through changes in stomatal response, which can consequently affect transpiration, photosynthesis, and leaf-level water use efficiencies. With projected warmer air temperatures, changes in rainfall distribution and altered VPD in future clima...

Dec 8, 2021
[Abstract] The introduction of genetically modified (GM) cotton in 1996 in the US and its worldwide spread later rejuvenated cotton production in many parts of the world. The evolution is continued since then and currently, the 3rd and fourth generation of same GM cotton is grown in many parts of the world. The GM cotton introduced in 1996 was simp...
JCR| The effect of time and type of stress moderators on yield and yield components of cotton on conventional and double-cropping systems under saline conditions
By

on
Oct 19, 2021
[Background] Today, stress moderators are employed to mitigate crop loss due to the adverse effects of environmental stress. The current research aimed to investigate the impacts of time and stress moderator types on agro-physiological responses of cotton on conventional and double-cropping systems during 2017 and 2018 under saline conditions. A sp...
JCR| Knockdown of 60S ribosomal protein L14-2 reveals their potential regulatory roles to enhance drought and salt tolerance in cotton
By

on
Oct 19, 2021
[Background] Cotton is a valuable economic crop and the main significant source of natural fiber for textile industries globally. The effects of drought and salt stress pose a challenge to strong fiber and large-scale production due to the ever-changing climatic conditions. However, plants have evolved a number of survival strategies, among them is...
JCR | Tolerance of Pima and Upland cotton to trifloxysulfuron (Envoke) herbicide under field conditions
By
Fan Qin
on
Oct 19, 2021
[Abstract] Trifloxysulfuron (Envoke) is an acetolactate synthase-inhibitor herbicide and can be used to control many broadleaf weeds and nutsedges in cotton production. However, there is a lack of information on genotypic variation in response to the herbicide. In this field study, 60 Pima (Gossypium barbadense L.) lines, 122 Upland (G. hirsutum L....
JCR | Current advances in pathogen-plant interaction between Verticillium dahliae and cotton provide new insight in the disease management

Oct 19, 2021
[Abstract] Verticillium wilt is the second serious vascular wilt caused by the phytopathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae Kleb. It has distributed worldwide, causing serious yield losses and fiber quality reduction in cotton production. The pathogen has developed different mechanisms like the production of cell wall degrading enzymes, activation o...

Aug 31, 2021
[Abstract] ZAT (Zinc Finger of Arabidopsis thaliana) proteins are composed of a plant-specific transcription factor family, which play an important role in plant growth, development, and stress resistance. To study the potential function of ZAT family in cotton, the whole genome identification, expression, and structure analysis of ZAT gene family...
