The phytotoxin coronatine induces abscission-related gene expression and boll ripening during defoliation of cotton.

The phytotoxin coronatine induces abscission-related gene expression and boll ripening during defoliation of cotton.

Defoliants can increase machine harvest efficiency of cotton (Gossypium hirusutum L.), prevent lodging and reduce the time from defoliation to harvest. Coronatine (COR) is a chlorosis-inducing non-host-specific phytotoxin that induces leaf and/or fruit abscission in some crops. The present study inv...
