Cotton Fiber Development Studies at Suboptimum Temperatures1

L. E. Hessler2, H. C. Lane3 and A. W. Young4

Synopsis: Cotton grown under adverse environment showed a close relationship between cellulose, reducing sugar ratio and temperature deficiency. Low temperatures during boll development caused reduced cellulose synthesis and the accumulation of sugars in the boll, indicating temperature dependence of cotton fiber production. Fiber properties varied with boll development and from early to late season. High correlation between cellulose and crystallinity, and between crystallinity and strength for developing cotton bolls show the relation between chemical structure and fiber development.
