Search Begins for More Efficient Cotton Leaves
Two USDA ARS scientists at Texas A&M Lub bock join in a project to develop cotton leaves with higher efficiency. Dr Jerry Quisenberry and Dr Bruce Roark study leaf carbon dioxide uptake and water conservation, aiming to transfer improved traits into commercial cotton varieties for the High Plains. The work links plant physiology and genetics to boost leaf performance and fiber yield.

Stomatal traits in cotton leaves and High Plains yield potential
Researchers note stomata close under low light and water stress, but field behavior is complex. Comparing High Plains cotton with ancestral varieties shows modern lines have more stomata per leaf area, hinting at higher carbon dioxide uptake and potential for increased yields under existing CO2 and water supplies.
