During the cotton harvesting stage, the application of chemical harvest aids, such as thidiazuron and ethephon, facilitates cotton defoliation and boll maturation, serving as a crucial management tool in modern cotton cultivation systems. This paper reviews recent advancements in cotton defoliation and ripening research; delves into the physiological mechanisms underlying defoliation, boll maturation, and cotton fiber development; and summarizes the effects of major defoliants and herbicide-type desiccants on plants. It also explores the roles of hormones and genes that are involved in the defoliation process and identifies the key factors influencing the effectiveness of harvest aids. Additionally, this paper offers recommendations and scientific prospects for optimizing cotton defoliation and ripening technologies in the future. Through these contributions, it aims to provide valuable insights for the research and application of efficient harvesting of mature cotton, stimulate innovation in cotton defoliation and ripening technologies, enhance the quality and yield of cotton, reduce labor costs, and contribute to the sustainable development of the cotton industry.
期刊介绍:
In an ever changing world, plant science is of the utmost importance for securing the future well-being of humankind. Plants provide oxygen, food, feed, fibers, and building materials. In addition, they are a diverse source of industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals. Plants are centrally important to the health of ecosystems, and their understanding is critical for learning how to manage and maintain a sustainable biosphere. Plant science is extremely interdisciplinary, reaching from agricultural science to paleobotany, and molecular physiology to ecology. It uses the latest developments in computer science, optics, molecular biology and genomics to address challenges in model systems, agricultural crops, and ecosystems. Plant science research inquires into the form, function, development, diversity, reproduction, evolution and uses of both higher and lower plants and their interactions with other organisms throughout the biosphere. Frontiers in Plant Science welcomes outstanding contributions in any field of plant science from basic to applied research, from organismal to molecular studies, from single plant analysis to studies of populations and whole ecosystems, and from molecular to biophysical to computational approaches.
Frontiers in Plant Science publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Plant Science. The mission of Frontiers in Plant Science is to bring all relevant Plant Science areas together on a single platform.
