Comparative transcriptional analysis provides insights of possible molecular mechanisms of wing polyphenism induced by postnatal crowding in Aphis gossypii

Journal of Cotton Research, 2019
Background Aphis gossypii is a worldwide sap-sucking pest with a variety of hosts and a vector of more than 50 plant viruses. The strategy of wing polyphenism, mostly resulting from population density increasing, contributes to the evolutionary success ...

Screening and evaluation of reliable traits of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes for salt tolerance at the seedling growth stage

Journal of Cotton Research, 2020
Background Salt stress significantly inhibits the growth, development, and productivity of cotton because of osmotic, ionic, and oxidative stresses.

Effects of biochar and biofertilizer on cadmium-contaminated cotton growth and the antioxidative defense system

Scientific Reports, 2020
Consistent use of large amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, and mulch can cause the accumulation of harmful substances in cotton plants. Among these harmful substances, cadmium (Cd), an undegradable element, stands out as being particularly highly toxic ...

Spray‐Assisted Fabrication of Cellulose Photonic Pigments on Superhydrophobic Surfaces

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A method to directly produce structurally colored microparticles by drying cholesteric cellulose nanocrystal microdroplets on a superhydrophobic surface is reported. This approach has several key advantages that can unlock large‐scale fabrication of sustainable photonic pigments, including exploiting existing industrial techniques (e.g. aerosolization),

Integration of proteomic and transcriptomic profiles reveals multiple levels of genetic regulation of salt tolerance in cotton

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Salinity is a major abiotic stress that limits upland cotton growth and reduces fibre production worldwide. To reveal genetic regulation via transcript and protein levels after salt stress, we comprehensively analysed the global changes in ...

Testing Cotton gravity as dark matter substitute with weak lensing [PDF]

SCIENCE CHINA Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy , Volume 68, Issue 4: 240412 (2025)
Harada proposed a modified theory of gravity called Cotton gravity, and argued that it successfully explains the rotation curves of $84$ galaxies without the need of dark matter. In this work we use galaxy-galaxy lensing technique to test whether the modification effect of Cotton gravity can indeed be a viable substitute for dark matter.

Coping with drought: stress and adaptive mechanisms, and management through cultural and molecular alternatives in cotton as vital constituents for plant stress resilience and fitness

Biological Research, 2018
Increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and associated climatic variability is primarily responsible for inducing heat waves, flooding and drought stress. Among these, water scarcity is a major limitation to crop productivity. Water stress
