Manipulation of gossypol-containing glands in cotton can boost plant's natural defenses

Development of a cotton plant with stronger natural defenses due to a greater gland density and thus more gossypol in the leaves could soon be a reality, according to a Texas A&M AgriLife Research plant biotechnologist in College Station.
