Cotton Source/Sink Relationships

  • Chapter
Book cover Physiology of Cotton

Abstract

Metabolite source/sink relationships govern assimilate partitioning, developmental rates, and fruit abscission in cotton. This subject is, therefore, of primary importance in the improvement of cotton plant types and in cotton culture. Here, we focus on research which has led to an understanding of metabolite source/sink interactions and secondary physiological effects resulting from those interactions. Much of this research has been done in controlled environments and some of it has been aimed at the development and testing of crop simulation models.
