Evaluation of transgenic cotton with altered fibre traits

Orford, Sharon (University Of Adelaide, 2006-06-30)

The Australian cotton industry occupies a niche market in optimal fibre quality, but this must be constantly developed in order to “stay ahead”.

Progress in the Identification of Genes which control Cotton Fibre Yield and Quality

Humpheries, John, Delaney, Sven, Orford, Sharon (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2004-08-12)

Cotton fibres, or lint, are very long single cells containing almost pure cellulose. The fibres develop in the weeks after flowering from single cells on the surface of the young seed.

Post-Doc: Sharon Orford - Genetic manipulation of fibre quality in Australian cotton

Orford, Sharon (University Of Adelaide, 2004-06-30)

Genetic engineering to confer useful agronomic and fibre traits will lower the cost and time

required for producing improved cotton varieties and will promote environmentally-friendly

Towards Genetic Manipulation of Fibre Quality in Australian Cotton

Orford, Sharon, Harmer, Sarah, Delaney, Sven, Humpheries, John, Lightfoot, Damien, Timmis, Jeremy (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)

Cotton fibres, or lint, are very long single cells containing almost pure cellulose. The fibres develop in the weeks after flowering from single cells on the surface of the young seed.

Isolation of gene sequences to manipulate the cotton fibre
