摘要： A two-year field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of removal of early-fruiting branches (REFB) on yield, quality, and endotoxin expression in transgenic Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Two early-fruiting branches of field-grown cotton plants were removed and retained at squaring to form the REFB and the control treatments, respectively. Lint yield, yield components, fibre quality, and Cry1Ac protein concentration in the first fully expanded young leaves on the main stem were measured. Results show that lint yields were increased by 5.1 and 5.5% with REFB compared with control in 2004 and 2005, respectively. There was no difference in fibre quality in the first two harvests between REFB and control, but fibre strength and micronarie in the third harvest were improved with REFB. Levels of total N, soluble protein, and Cry1Ac protein as well as glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) activity in leaves were higher in REFB than in the control. Laboratory bioassay showed significant enhancement of the control efficacy by REFB in terms of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) neonate mortality for both years. It is suggested that REFB might be a potential practice for enhancing transgenic Bt cotton production.
