Abscission is a process that allows plants to shed tissues or organs via cell separation, and
occurs throughout the life cycle. Removal of leaves through the use of chemical defoliants is …

Thidiazuron (TDZ) is a widely used chemical defoliant in cotton and can stimulate the
production of ethylene in leaves, which is believed to be the key factor in inducing leaf …

Thidiazuron (TDZ) is widely used as a defoliant to induce leaf abscission in cotton. However,
the underlying molecular mechanism is still unclear. In this study, RNA-seq and enzyme …

Thidiazuron (TDZ) is the main defoliant used in production to promote leaf abscission for
machine-picked cotton. Under low temperatures, the defoliation rate of cotton treated with …

Chemical defoliation is an important part of cotton mechanical harvesting, which can
effectively reduce the impurity content. Thidiazuron (TDZ) is the most used chemical …

Abscission of cotyledonary leaves from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Stoneville 213)
seedlings occurred following relief from water stress. The amount of abscission was related …

The severity of Verticillium wilt on cotton caused by defoliating strains of Verticillium dahliae
has gradually increased and threatens production worldwide. Identification of the molecular …

Background Cotton boll shedding is one of the main factors adversely affecting the cotton
yield. During the cotton plant growth period, low light conditions can cause cotton bolls to fall …

Thidiazuron (TDZ) has been extensively applied as chemical defoliant in cotton production,
but the physiological mechanisms for its defoliating activity are poorly understood. Hydrogen …

Defoliants can increase machine harvest efficiency of cotton (Gossypium hirusutum L.),
prevent lodging and reduce the time from defoliation to harvest. Coronatine (COR) is a …
