The accumulation of biochemical components in ovule of cotton fiber mutants during the ovule development
2002
JIANG Shu-li | WANG Xue-de
Four types upland cotton of fiber mutants were compared with each other or with a genetic standard line, TM-1, with respect to accumulation of fiber cellulose, embryo fat, soluble carbohydrate and protein, and the correlation between cellulose content in fiber and the other constituents during the ovule development. As the results showed that there were great differences in the change of biochemical components, but also in their content. Fiber mutants were lower for fiber cellulose and embryo protein, but higher for fat content in embryo than those in TM-1. In the fiber, cellulose content was positively correlated with fat content in embryo and negatively correlated with soluble carbohydrate and protein content in fiber.
