In 2014, mean values of nutrients showed that Uzbek CRL and DP 5690 wild type had higher seed oil, N, P, K, and Mg than DP 5690 CRL, but protein content in DP 5690 CRL was higher in 2015 only or high as in DP 5690 wild type in 2014, although Uzbek CRL was higher than both lines ( Table 2 ).
Does curly leaf shape affect cottonseed protein oil and minerals?
To our knowledge, there is no information available on the effects of leaf shape¡ªcurly leaf (CRL)¡ªon cottonseed protein, oil, and minerals. Therefore, the objective of the current research was to investigate the effect of the curly leaf trait on cottonseed protein, oil, and minerals in cotton lines differing in leaf shape.
How are protein and oil contents measured in mature cottonseed?
Protein and oil contents were measured in mature cottonseed. Briefly, approximately 25 g of seed was ground using a Laboratory Mill 3600 (Perten, Springfield, IL, USA). The contents of protein and oil in cottonseed were analyzed by near infrared reflectance [ 3, 4, 59] using a diode array feed analyzer AD 7200 (Perten, Springfield, IL, USA).
Is cottonseed a good source of nutrients?
Introduction Cottonseed is among the major sources of nutrients for human nutrition and livestock feed. Cottonseed contains protein, oil, carbon (C), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), and minerals, including phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ].
