Title
Tolerance of transformed cotton to glufosinate
Lesli K. Blair-Kerth; Peter A. Dotray; J. Wayne Keeling; et al. Weed Science 2001. doi:10.1614/0043-1745(2001)049[0375:totctg]2.0.co;2
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Glufosinate caused no visible injury to tolerant cotton.
- Intervention effect Glufosinate treatments were lethal to nontransformed or nonexpressing cotton.
- Intervention effect Glufosinate did not adversely affect plant height, nodes, bolls or boll positions.
- Intervention effect Glufosinate at 0.6 kg ha−1 across eight growth stages did not adversely affect yield or fiber quality.
- Observation Overall yields were low relative to normal regional cotton yields.
- Observation The authors concluded that the tolerance transformation succeeded and the gene was expressed throughout the season.
- Recommendation The authors recommend transformation and field testing of other cotton varieties to improve regional varietal performance.
