Water-use efficiency (WUE) may be a useful trait for improving productivity of cotton (Gossypium spp.) under certain water-limited conditions, but it is difficult to measure in the field or in large controlled-environment screening studies. Recently, an easily measured trait, the epidermal conductance of dark-adapted leaves (gdark), was shown to be predictive of whole-plant WUE in soybean ...
The aim of this 2-yr investigation was to compare variations in chlorophyll concentration, net photosynthesis rate, monosaccharide concentration, and fiber yield and quality among white-fiber cotton (WFC), brown-fiber cotton (BFC), and green-fiber cotton (GFC). White-fiber cotton had the highest lint yield, which was on average ...
