Danmaigona Clement, Catherine (2023-05-04)Fusarium oxysporum is a cross-kingdom pathogen that causes notorious diseases with the most diverse host range, including plants, animals, and humans. Different isolates in F. oxysporum species complex (FOSC) were defined ...
-
Lakey, Caitlin Samantha (2021-08-25)Fusarium oxysporum vasinfectum- race 4 (FOV4) was identified in California cotton production in the 1990’s. The discovery of FOV4 in El Paso County prompted researchers to evaluate resistance to it in upland cotton varieties. ...
-
Riehl, Caleb (2022-04-27)Cotton gins struggle to process cotton when the cotton is excessively moist. Cotton gins must slow down processing rate and increase dryer temperatures to gin cotton with high moisture contents. The slowdown in the ginning ...
-
Masor, Laura Lee (2012-02-14)Crop lands around the world are becoming more salt-affected due to natural processes and agricultural practices. Due to this increase of salinization, acquisition of saline tolerant germplasm for breeding purposes is ...

Diallel analysis and heritability estimates of fiber traits for ELS, Gossypium hirsutum L., progeny. Berger, Gregory L. (2010-01-16)With a demand for high-quality cotton fiber in international markets, improvement of fiber quality in U.S. grown commercial cultivars is necessary. Smith, Hague, Thaxton, and Jones developed a group of experimental lines ...
-
Dodge, William George (2023-05-02)The need to improve cotton to the benefit of humanity has been the driving factor in scientific cotton breeding for nearly 150 years. The act of cotton breeding itself is not a novel enterprise. What is novel, however, are ...

Vacek, Luke Anthony (2016-01-21)The U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard mandated increases in the amount of renewable fuel blended into transportation fuel from 9 billion gallons in 2008 to 36 billion gallons by 2022. While a portion of this renewable fuel can ...
-
Arce, Joel (2019-04-18)Delinting cottonseed, which is removing short fuzz fiber called linters to polish seed for mechanical planting, is a practice commonly used by cotton breeding programs. The predominant method of delinting cottonseed is ...
-
Hugie, Kari L. (2015-10-15)Excess supply coupled with domestic reliance on export markets dictates that the U.S. cotton industry compete globally in terms of both price and fiber quality. Two cycles of divergent selection for fiber upper-half mean ...
-
Kennett, Raymond (2012-02-14)Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum(Smith), Pythium aphanidermatum(Edson) and Rhizoctonia solani(Kuhn) have all been shown to cause significant yield losses in cotton. Previous work has demonstrated that a set of high ...
-
Andrews, Bethany Joann (2016-07-22)In many dry crop production regions of the world, food-insecure farmers rely on sorghum because of its drought tolerance and ability to yield with low inputs. In Central America and Sub-Saharan Africa, these farmers grow ...
-
Al-Azzawi, Rasha (2014-08-06)Performance yield trials are some of the most expensive processes in a cotton breeding program. Cotton plots require a great deal of land, agronomic inputs, and plot-sample processing. Much of the equipment is expensive ...
-
Beyer, Benjamin (2012-10-19)Desired base upper half mean length (UHML) of upland cotton (G. hirsutum) in the U.S. has been set a 27.0 mm and is shorter than the standard set by the international community. Upland cotton genotypes from China, South ...
-
Ng, Eng Hwa (2013-05-29)Fiber elongation (ability to stretch before breaking) is one of the key components in determining overall yarn quality. Elongation in U.S. upland cotton (G. hirsutum L.) has remained largely neglected due to: absence of ...
-
Bai, Gali (2020-07-23)This study was aimed at finding genetic markers or genes that are associated with ear traits important to maize by genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on the USDA maize GWAS panel consisting of diverse inbred lines ...
-
Saitwal, Vishal Madhukar (2017-12-08)India is the leading producer of cotton in the world producing 33.8 million bales (170 kg each) from 11.5 million ha. However, the lower yields per unit area stimulated the concept of high density planting system in India. ...
-
Packer, Daniel (2011-05-09)High-biomass sorghums are being developed as a dedicated energy crop for biofuels. Their high biomass yields provide large quantities of structural carbohydrates (cellulose, lignin, etc.) for energy production. Sorghum ...
-
Lin, Yu-Ming (2017-12-14)The narrow genetic base of Upland cotton has slowed growth of its productivity as a crop and perhaps also its use in the world. The need to broaden genetic diversity of Upland cotton is urgent, especially given the ...
-
Wu, Wenzhuo (2019-07-10)Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play an important role in agricultural research because they facilitate high-throughput phenotyping (HTP). Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the world’s leading natural textile fiber crop, and ...
-
Ekinci, Ozge (2022-12-15)Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a highly profitable crop due to its high dietary protein content and fiber, critical minerals, and excellent capability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, especially in low-cost food production ...
