13. Cotton bacterial endotoxin assessed by electron microscopy.

A piece of bale cotton was incubated in nutrient broth. Electron microscopic inspection of the cotton and the broth showed Gram-negative bacteria with long flagella, loosely attached to the cotton fibres. Large amounts of endotoxin liberating from these bacteria were visible in the growth medium.

14. A comparative study of respiratory function in female non-smoking cotton and jute workers

Valić, F., and Žuškin, E. (1971).Brit. J. industr. Med.,28, 364-368. A comparative study of respiratory function in female non-smoking cotton and jute workers. To compare the effect of cotton and jute dust, respiratory symptoms were studied and respiratory function measured in 60 cotton and 91 jute non-smoking female workers of similar age distribution, s

15. Malate Synthase Activity in Cotton and Other Ungerminated Oilseeds: A Survey 1

Extracts from several species and varieties of ungerminated cotton seeds plus homogenates from 18 other oilseeds (representing 11 different families) were examined for malate synthase and isocitrate lyase activity. Malate synthase activities in the various cotton seeds ranged from 35 to 129% of the units per dry seed weight found in Deltapine 16 cotton. For

16. Bacteria on closed-boll and commercially harvested cotton.

The bacterial content of specially treated cottons used by other investigators to test human pulmonary responses to cotton dust was examined. Cotton from Lubbock, Tex. and Stoneville, Miss. were either (i) harvested by machine and handled as commercial bale cotton, (ii) harvested as closed bolls with bracts intact and opened under special conditions, (iii) h

17. Bacterial contamination of cotton and cotton dust and effects on the lung.

Bacterial contamination of various parts of the cotton plant and of cotton from different mills was investigated. The predominant bacterial species were Gram-negative rods mainly of the Enterobacter genus. When guinea pigs inhaled strains of these bacteria cultivated from cotton, a strong leucocyte mobilising capacity was found for Pseudomonas and Enterobact

18. Respiratory symptoms and ventilatory function changes in relation to length of exposure to cotton dust

The prevalence of byssinosis, respiratory symptoms, acute changes of ventilatory capacity over the shift, and chronic changes of ventilatory capacity were studied in two groups of non-smoking female workers exposed to practically identical concentrations of the same type of cotton dust but for very different periods of time (16 and 4 years respectively). The

19. Cotton Fleahopper and Associated Microorganisms as Components in the Production of Stress Ethylene by Cotton 1

Excised cotton terminal buds incubated with adults or nymphs of the cotton fleahopper (CFH), Pseudatomoscelis seriatus (Reuter), produced ethylene at theoretical abscission-inducing rates by 24 h after introduction of the insect. Inoculation of cotton shoot tips with three microorganisms commonly associated with CFH and cotton in all cases promoted ethylene

20. Remote sensing and GIS for cotton crop analysis in Campo Verde and Primavera do Leste - Mato Grosso state, Brazil / Sensoriamento remoto e SIG na análise da cotonicultura nos municípios de Campo Verde e Primavera do Leste - MT

Cotton represents 50% of textil fiber used around the world. In the second half of the 90s a new system production allowed the cotton transfer to Cerrado region. In this regard, it is necessary to count on reliable information that allows to analyze the cotton crop in this region. In this context, the hypothesis of this work was that remote sensing data and

21. The restructuring of the Brazilian cotton sector: economic, institutional, and technological factors / A reestruturação da cotonicultura no Brasil: fatores econômicos, institucionais e tecnológicos

Brazilian cotton prices have been decreasing since the 1970s. Even after the restructuring of the sector, in 1990s, cotton production has been increasing in a great pace. This paper argues that this performance is directly related to technological (supply) and marketing (demand) factors. Entrepreneurial and management abilities were essential to Brazilian gr

22. Citric Acid Fermentation by Aspergillus niger on Low Sugar Concentrations and Cotton Waste

The possible use of cotton waste as a carbohydrate source of citric acid production by Aspergillus niger was examined. No citric acid was produced when A. niger was grown on cotton waste as a sole carbon source. In two-stage fermentations, however, mycelium obtained from surface cultures in cotton waste medium yielded more citric acid when transferred to suc

23. Control of Plant Trichome Development by a Cotton Fiber MYB GeneW⃞

Cotton (Gossypium spp) plants produce seed trichomes (cotton fibers) that are an important commodity worldwide; however, genes controlling cotton fiber development have not been characterized. In Arabidopsis thaliana the MYB gene GLABRA1 (GL1) is a central regulator of trichome development. Here, we show that promoter of a cotton fiber gene, RD22-like1 (RDL1

24. USING PASSIVE AND ACTIVE MULTISPECTRAL SENSORS ON THE CORRELATION WITH THE PHENOLOGICAL INDICES OF COTTON

ABSTRACT: The investment in precision agriculture technologies has been growing as well the investment in vegetation index sensors with different types of data collection. This study aimed to evaluate the NDVI potential use obtained from passive and active multispectral sensors as phenological parameters indicator of cotton growth. The experiment was conduct
