Genome-wide identification and mining elite allele variation of the Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) gene family in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

BMC Plant Biology
Background Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) genes belong to the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily, catalyze the terminal step of triglyceride (TAG) hydrolysis, converting monoacylglycerol (MAG) into free fatty acids and glycerol.

On‐farm experimentation in East and West Africa improves nutrient management decision‐making and yield in cereal smallholder farming systems

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Past efforts have concentrated on top‐down approaches in delivering precision nutrient management (PNM) practices to smallholder farmers, but with little yield and economic impact for farmers. Farmer‐centric on‐farm experimentation (OFE) is an approach designed to effectively engage farmers in generating technologies tailored to the ...

Relative cost of ginning cotton using saw, conventional roller, and high‐speed roller gins in the United States

Agribusiness, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 316-329, Winter 2026.
Abstract The primary objective of this study was to investigate whether the cost of processing cotton using high‐speed roller gins is comparable to saw gins. The results from a “true” random effect model estimated using proprietary data voluntarily shared by cotton gins operating in Arizona and California showed that the average cost inefficiency for ...

Characterization of the late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins family and their role in drought stress tolerance in upland cotton

BMC Genetics, 2018
Background Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are large groups of hydrophilic proteins with major role in drought and other abiotic stresses tolerance in plants. In-depth study and characterization of LEA protein families have been carried out in

Leveraging Long‐Term Ecological Research Initiatives Into the One Health Synthesis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We address important ecological and evolutionary considerations for advancing a One Health perspective by drawing attention to faunal and ecosystem changes occurring through the Great Plains of North America that have strong implications for future risk of emerging pathogens including zoonoses.

Engineering Gossypol‐Free Cottonseeds for Future Global Food Security and Agricultural Sustainability

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
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.

Linkage Map Construction and Quantitative Trait Locus Analysis of Agronomic and Fiber Quality Traits in Cotton

The Plant Genome, 2014
The superior fiber properties of L. serve as a source of novel variation for improving fiber quality in Upland cotton ( L.), but introgression from has been largely unsuccessful due to hybrid breakdown and a lack of genetic and genomic resources. In an

Variation in carbon sequestration in response to water limitation in a diverse panel of switchgrass genotypes

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has been identified as a “model” herbaceous species for bioenergy production by the United States Department of Energy. Switchgrass can provide several ecosystem services, including biodiversity support, soil erosion control, runoff filtering, and reclamation of marginal land.

Identifying favorable alleles for improving key agronomic traits in upland cotton

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Gossypium hirsutum L. is grown worldwide and is the largest source of natural fiber crop. We focus on exploring the favorable alleles (FAs) for upland cotton varieties improvement, and further understanding the history of accessions selection ...
