Recent Advances in Cotton Transformation and Genome Editing Techniques: The Prospects and Challenges

Modern Agriculture, Volume 3, Issue 1, June 2025.
Application of transformed cotton plants. Cotton transformation yields desirable traits, including: (1) strengthening insect and pest resistance, (2) enhancing the resistance to abiotic stress such as drought, heat, cold and salinity, (3) improving herbicide tolerance, (4) increasing the cotton lint and seed yield, (5) boosting nutrient uptake ...

The Characterization of a Growth Inhibitor of Glandless Cottonseed

Poultry Science, 1965
Abstract AS PART of a feeding test designed to evaluate the nutritional value of glandless cottonseed, which is essentially free of gossypol, the authors (1961) found that the nutritional value of the meals for the chick could be greatly improved by heating the flaked seed kernels in the presence of added water prior to extraction of the oil with ...

Seed Oil Contents, Fatty Acid Compositions, and Gossypol Concentrations of Some Okra Landraces

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 12, Page 10087-10098, December 2024.
The okra plant contains a high amount of oil and valuable fatty acids; however, the main restriction to the use of okra seed as an oil crop results from its gossypol contents. This work attempted to investigate the oil content, oil composition, and gossypol content in fruits, oil cake, and plant oil in the germplasm of cultivars and landraces.

Constitutive and induced insect resistance in RNAi-mediated ultra-low gossypol cottonseed cotton

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Besides fibers, cotton plants also produce a large amount of seeds with a high oil and protein content. The use of these seeds is restricted by their high contents of the terpenoid gossypol, which is harmful to humans and livestock.

What do we really know about the water repellency of feathers?

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2024, Issue 11-12, November/December 2024.
Feathers are complex integument structures that provide birds with many functions. They are vital to a bird's survival, fundamental to their visual displays, and responsible for the evolutionary radiation of the avian class. Feathers provide a protective barrier for the body; their water repellency is a key feature.

Regulation of Glandular Size and Phytoalexin Biosynthesis by a Negative Feedback Loop in Cotton

Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 30, August 14, 2024.
This study elucidates a negative feedback loop model involving a VQ‐domain containing protein and a MYC2‐like protein, whereby the ratio of their mRNA and protein contents regulates the size of pigment glands and the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in cotton.

Robust CRISPR/Mb2Cas12a genome editing tools in cotton plants

iMeta, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2024.
The efficiency and accuracy of the CRISPR/Mb2Cas12a system were demonstrated in cotton, achieving an efficiency of over 90% at target sites. Notably, Mb2Cas12a exhibited significant tolerance under different temperatures ranging from 22°C to 32°C. Additionally, the Mb2Cas12a system revealed effective editing at more relaxed VTTV PAM sites in the cotton

Insights into the role of GhCYP and GhTPS in the gossypol biosynthesis pathway via a multiomics and functional-based approach in cotton

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Two cotton research institute (CRI) near-isogenic lines, CRI-12 glanded and CRI-12 glandless, were used to pinpoint potential genes and metabolic pathways linked to gossypol biosynthesis through transcriptome sequencing.

PROTEIN QUALITY OF PROCESSED WHOLE KERNEL GLANDLESS COTTONSEED

Journal of Food Quality, 1983
ABSTRACTProtein quality of raw, cooked and roasted glandless whole kernal cottonseed flour was determined. The adjusted protein efficiency ratio (PER) of cooked (2.10) cottonseed was significantly (P = 0.01) higher than roasted (1.77) cottonseed. Protein retention efficiency (PRE) for roasted cottonseed (58.08) was lower than values for raw (60.54) and

STUDY OF GENE EFFECTS FOR BOLL NUMBER, BOLL WEIGHT, AND SEED INDEX IN COTTON [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2006
Sixty four cross combinations were produced by a complete diallel-mating system with eight varieties (Laokra5.5, DPL-7340-424, Fregobract, Glandless 4195-220, SA100, Stoneville-857, S-14 and B-557).
