Cotton Fiber Length Is Affected by Far-Red Light Impinging on Developing Bolls

USDA-ARS, Coastal Plains Soil, Water, and Plant Research Center, 2611 W. Lucas St., Florence, SC 29501-1242 USA

View larger version (47K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1 Length of fibers developed in unshielded (control) versus shielded bolls on cotton plants in trickle irrigated field plots over green, red, aluminum, and white surfaces in 1993. Values are means for the hand measurements ± standard errors. Those with the same letter do not differ significantly at P = 0.05 by ANOVA procedures (26)

View larger version (12K): [in a new window]   Fig. 3 Percentage of incident visible and FR light reflected from the surface of a recently expanded green leaf from a cotton plant growing over soil. Reflection from the leaf was similar to that from the green reflectors used in these experiments
