Title: Effect of Light Quality on Boll Development and Fiber Quality in Brown Cotton
Abstract: The different light qualities on cotton were achieved by covering bolls with film filters in different colors(red,yellow,blue-violet and white).As comparing with the white light,the red light was capable of increasing the volume and weight of boll,the blue-violet light could shorten fiber length,and the yellow light could depress lint percentage distinctly.Additionally,three different lights were all favorable to increase activities of sucrose synthase in cotton fiber;as concerning activities of β-1,3-glucanase and IAAO,the red light could increase the activity of β-1,3-glucanase and depress the activity of IAAO,the blue-violet light influenced the two activities contrarily,and the yellow light depressed both of them.
