Special Issue on Cotton Production

Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under natural conditions, the cotton bolls will tend to increase the dispersal of the seeds.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring cotton production. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Cotton cultivation
• Cotton genome
• Cotton seed and breeding
• Pests and weeds
• Harvesting
• Competition from synthetic fibers
• Uses
• Cotton trade

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Cotton Production” should be selected during your submission.
