Since 1996 farmers worldwide have planted more than 1 billion acres (400 million hectares) of genetically modified corn and cotton that produce insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis or Bt for short.
which evolved resistance rapidly to Bt cotton in India but not in the US#Tabashnik says.#
and will adhere to surfaces as diverse and supple as rubber, paper, cotton T-shirts, or a leaf off an oak tree.##
cotton or other fibers are extruded seamlessly to form layers of a breathable fabric, ideal for usage in sportswear, bandages and undergarments.

several regions will likely see yield losses for heat-sensitive commodity crops like cotton and corn, with potentially high economic costs,
the Inland South region will likely take an economic hit of up to $38 million per year due to cotton yield declines by the end of the century.

#USDA Scientists, International Colleagues Sequence Upland cotton Genome U s. Department of agriculture (USDA) scientists and their partners have sequenced the genome of the world most widely cultivated and genetically complex species of cotton,
a milestone that will make it easier to address increasing threats to cotton by tapping into its natural defenses.
Sequencing the genome of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) will help breeders develop varieties of cotton that are equipped better to combat the pests,
Cotton growers have experienced a plateau in yields since the early 1990s and most commercial varieties lack genetic diversity, making cotton vulnerable to natural threats.
The findings will help researchers and breeders in the years ahead develop cotton varieties with improved fiber qualities, higher yields and more tolerance to heat, drought and diseases anticipated due to climate change.
Cotton is grown on 12 million acres in 17 states and is a $6 billion crop in the United states. here is untapped a vast
reservoir of genes in wild cotton plants that could offer us stronger and more effective defenses to the numerous challenges faced by cotton growers.
Sequencing of a genetic standard in cotton gives us the roadmap to identify and tap into that reservoir of genetic variability,
said Chavonda Jacobs-Young, administrator of the USDA Agricultural research service (ARS. ARS is USDA principal intramural scientific research agency.
because several of the scientists involved in today studies recently sequenced the two arentspecies of most commercial cotton varietiesn Old world cultivated cotton and a New world wild cotton.
and exploit cotton genetic diversity by tapping into the potential of genes found in the 10,000 accessions of exotic and wild cotton plants in the ARS Cotton Germplasm Collection in College Station, Texas t

In addition to those crops, cotton is one of the thirstiest crops a farmer can grow, especially in a desert.
Though cotton production has dropped steeply in California since 1995, California farmers have gotten $3 billion in federal subsidies to grow it.
#Vehicle body made from cotton hemp and wood Carbon and glass fibers reinforce synthetics so that they can be used for vehicle body construction.
But in this regard there is an abundance of potential found in natural fibers obtained from hemp cotton or wood.
Variants derived from hemp flax cotton and wood are about as affordable as glass fibers and moreover have a lower density than the pendants made of glass or carbon.
