Cotton fibres, or lint, are very long single cells containing almost pure cellulose. The fibres develop in the weeks after flowering from single cells on the surface of the young seed.

Irrigation is an indispensable technology used to augment agricultural production in the semi-and and arid regions. However, poor water management (eg.

Making the transition from theory to field practices, that reflect an IPM system is not simply the changing a management operation.

Accurate identification is important for the management of all weed species for a range of different reasons including the selection of effective herbicides and implementing timely management before seed set so that p

Australian cotton is highly regarded amongst the world's cotton spinners for its high quality fibre characteristics, reliability of supply and lack of contamination.

One step in the production of transgenic cotton is the regeneration of whole plants from undifferentiated cells (calli) in which the gene of interest has been inserted.

Knowledge is one of our most valuable and intangible assets.

During Phase I of the project "Assessment of Ecological Risk Associated with Irrigation Systems in the Goulburn Broken Catchment" (Cottingham et al., 2001) adverse changes to the abundance and diversity of n

Any future expansion of irrigated agriculture in Australia is likely to occur in northern Australia.

Research has shown that in-stream water temperatures control ecological processes (i.e. ecosystem metabolism) and directly regulate biodiversity when upper lethal limits of resident aquatic fauna are exceeded.

Australian cotton is grown in a relatively compact and contiguous part of the country.

Vetch is a winter-growing legume being increasingly grown in rotation with cotton.

Knowledge is fundamental to improving the competitiveness, responsiveness and levels of innovation that we see in industries.
