  • What is cottonseed oil?
  • Cottonseed oil is the valuable byproduct extracted after seed cotton processing for lint. It confers a huge contribution to total vegetable oil production and ranked the 2nd to meet global edible oil requirements. Over centuries, breeders mainly focused to improve lint production and fiber quality.
  • When did the cottonseed industry start?
  • Cottonseed processing industry made its beginnings with the invention of the cotton gin in 1793, that led to the availability of large supplies of cottonseed possible, but it was in the early twentieth century only that cottonseed was utilised in commercial quantities for production of oil and other cottonseed products.
  • Do Argentine cotton varieties have fiber and seed quality parameters?
  • This study quantified and reported the values of fiber and seed quality paraments in both current and obsolete Argentine cotton varieties across different seasons and sowing dates. Oil content was the only quality parameter that increased in Argentine cotton varieties released from 1965 to the present.
  • What are the products of cottonseed?
  • Cottonseed products yield per ton of seed crushed. Cottonseed contains hull and kernel. The hull produces fibre and linters. The kernel contains oil, protein, carbohydrate and other constituents such as vitamins, minerals, lecithin, sterols etc. Cottonseed oil is extracted from cottonseed kernel.
  • Does genetic development affect cotton lint quality in Argentina?
  • Although previous studies have examined different trends in cotton lint yield, lint quality parameters, and other agronomic traits of cultivars over time, there have been no investigations in Argentina analyzing the genetic progress in the different components of technological fiber quality, cottonseed oil and protein composition.
  • Do transgenic cotton plants have increased seed oleic acid content?
  • Transgenic cotton plants with increased seed oleic acid content. Journal of the American Oil Chemistsâ€? Society, 78, 941‡°947. Chapman K D, Neogi P B, Hake K D, Stawska A A, Speed T R, Cotte M Q, Garrett D C. 2008. Reduced oil accumulation in cottonseeds transformed with a nonfunctional allele of a delta-12 fatty acid desaturase (FAD2).
