Teroenes in G. barbadense and Upland race stocks. Different cultivars of Upland cotton have similar profiles of volatile terpenes, but barbadense and certain insect-resistant Texas race stocks of G.. hirsutum (15 - 17) have profiles different from the cultivars. 1. barbadense lacks myrcene, y-bisabolene and B-bisabolol, which are major components in cultivated Upland cotton, but it has greater concentrations of a-copaene (18 Table II).

Gossypium hirsutum, a tetraploid, has been developed in the United States from cotton native to Mexico and Central America and includes all of the many commercial varieties of American Upland cotton. Upland cottons now provide over 90%i of the current world production of raw cotton fiber. The lengths, or staple lengths, of the Upland cotton fiber vary from about I to l in. (22-36 mm), and the micronaire value (an indicator of fiber fineness and maturity but not necessarily a reliable measure of either see Chapter 8) ranges from 3.8 to 5.0. If grown in the United States, G. hirsutum lint fibers are 26-30 mm (1 to 1-3/16 in.) long [20]. Fiber from G. hirsutum is widely used in apparel, home furnishings, and industrial products. 

The cotton fibers used in textile commerce are the dried cell walls of formerly living cells. Botanically, cotton fibers are trichomes or seed coat hairs that differentiate from epidermal cells of the developing cottonseed. The cotton flower blooms only for one day and quickly becomes senescent thereafter. On the day of full bloom, or anthesis, the flower petals are pure white in most G. hirsutum varieties. By the day after anthesis, the petals turn bright pink in color and, usually by the second day after anthesis, the petals fall off the developing carpel (boll). The day of anthesis serves as a reference point for all subsequent events in the seed and fiber development. 

SEA has been extracted from human and rodent brains (Maccarrone et al., 2002), and from the tick A. americanum (Fezza et al., 2003). Oleamide is present in the cerebrospinal fluid of humans, rats, and cats (Cravatt et al., 1995), and in the seeds of T. cacao (Di Marzo et al., 1998), Z. mays, and G. hirsutum (Chapman, 2000). Short-chain NAEs such as A-lauroylethanolamine (LEiA, 12 0) and N-myristoylethanolamine (MEA, 14 0) have been extracted from seeds of N. tabacum and M. truncatula (Chapman, 2000). 

Total RNA was extracted from young leaves and immature embryos (25, 30, 36, 45 days after fertilisation) of G. hirsutum. The RNAs were denatured with formaldehyde, resolved by electrophoresis in 1% agarose gel containing formaldehyde, transferred to Hybond-N" nylon membranes, and probed...
