Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy and Simple Algorithm Analysis for Rapid and Non-Destructive Assessment of Cotton Fiber Maturity and Crystallinity for Plant Mapping [PDF]

Sensors
Information on boll distribution within a cotton plant is critical to evaluate the adaptation and response of cotton plants to environmental and biotic stress in cotton production. Cotton researchers have applied available conventional fiber measurements,

Comparative Upland Cotton Fiber Length Measurement and the Relation to Fiber Maturity

Textiles
Cotton fiber length and maturity, two critical fiber qualities, are commonly determined in the U.S. by Uster high volume instrument (HVI) and advanced fiber information system (AFIS).

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the PP2C Gene Family in Gossypium barbadense Reveals Potential Candidates for Breeding Improved Stress Resistance, Fiber Character, and Early Maturing Cotton Varieties [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
The protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) gene family plays vital roles in plant growth and stress responses, yet remains inadequately characterized in cotton, particularly in Gossypium barbadense renowned for its superior fiber quality.

Microarray analysis of fiber cell maturation in the lens [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2005
The mammalian lens consists of an aged core of quiescent cells enveloped by layers of mature fully elongated cells and younger, continuously elongating transcriptionally active cells. The fiber cell maturation is initiated when fiber cells cease to elongate.

Hybrid Fibers Transform into Distinct Fiber Types in Maturing Mouse Muscles [PDF]

Cells Tissues Organs, 2013
The role of hybrid fibers as intermediates in fiber type transformations is not completely understood. In some cases hybrids are clearly transitional fibers changing from one type to another, but in others they represent phenotypically stable fibers in normal muscles.
