This study depicting the role of transcriptomics, RNA interference (RNAi), and CRISPR/Cas9 technologies in the breeding of glandless cottonseed and glanded cotton tissues. This approach demonstrates the potential of cotton as a dual‐purpose crop, serving both the fiber industry and as a sustainable food and feed source.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many reptiles inhabit deserts where extreme heat and aridity make it imperative to minimize evaporative water loss (EWL) in order to maintain a water balance. We compared the EWL of desert versus Mediterranean snakes and the content and composition of their epidermal ...

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

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

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