Cotton fabric has extensive application due to its comfort and breathability. However, the inherent flammability limits its wide application. Durable polysaccharide-based flame retardants with a low impact on the softness of fabrics are rarely reported. In this work, a novel flame retardant ammonium phosphate of lentinan (APLNT) was synthesized and grafted on the surface of cotton fabric. The treated cotton fabric had a high limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of 43.3 % and passed the vertical burning test (VBT) with a 21.1 % weight gain of APLNT. Compared with control cotton, the peak heat release rate and total heat release values of Cotton-APLNT decreased by 92.8 % and 50.9 %, respectively. In addition, the cotton fabric still passed the VBT and kept an LOI value of 27.0 % even after 50 laundering cycles, indicating that the fabric can be used for daily needs. More importantly, the treated fabric remains soft. This research provided a new strategy for preparing bio-based durable flame retardant cotton fabrics.

Cotton is an important crop for fiber production, but the genetic basis underlying key agronomic traits, such as fiber quality and flowering days, remains complex. While machine learning (ML) has shown great potential in uncovering the genetic architecture of complex traits in other crops, its application in cotton has been limited. Here, we applied five machine learning models-AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting Regressor, LightGBM, Random Forest, and XGBoost-to identify loci associated with fiber quality and flowering days in cotton.

Although materials with infrared camouflage capabilities are increasingly being produced, few applications exist in clothing fabrics. Here, graphene/MXene-modified fabric with superior infrared camouflage, Joule heating, and electromagnetic shielding capabilities all in one was prepared by simply scraping a graphene slurry onto alkali-treated cotton fabrics, followed by spraying MXene. The functionality of the modified fabrics after different treatment times was then tested and analyzed.

The demand for antibacterial, antifungal, and deodorant textiles has grown significantly with the increasing concern for health and hygiene. In this study, novel functional cotton fabric (EE) with long-lasting antibacterial, antifungal, and deodorant activity was prepared by graft modification with triclosan and eugenol. EE shows more than 99% antibacterial and antifungal activity against , , , and through mechanisms such as inhibiting enzyme activity and disrupting cell structure.

Cotton fibers are single cells that develop from the epidermal cells in the outer integument of developing seeds. The processes regulating fiber cell development have been extensively studied; however, the spatiotemporal transcriptome and metabolome profiles during the early stages of fiber development remain largely unknown. In this study, we profile the dynamics of transcriptome and metabolome during the early stages of cotton fiber cell development using a combination of spatial transcriptomic, single-cell transcriptomic, and spatial metabolomic analyses.
