Effect of Anthesis Date and Fruiting Branches on Cotton Fiber Qualities and Super-molecular Structure
Shan Shi · Zhongguo nongye Kexue · 2002
This article presented the effect of anthesis date and fruiting branches on the dynamic changes of cotton fiber qualities and super molecular structure. Fiber qualities, such as cotton fiber length, micronair, mutation and fiber strength, became poor with anthesis date postponing and temperature decreasing. At the same anthesis date positions of fruiting branches affected the fiber qualities. The fiber qualities of low portion turned out to be better than that of the upper portion, which was not significant. The super molecular structure of low portion turned out to be superior to that of upper portion at earlier anthesis date and higher temperature, which is in accordance with what was mentioned above, but the effect of fruiting branches could not changes the effect of anthesis date on super molecular structure.
