Article Abstract
The gene encodes a secreted protein, and the gene is a member of the transcription factor family. Both genes have multiple biological functions. This study was conducted to investigate the association between and gene polymorphisms and wool fiber diameter and to determine potential molecular marker sites for breeding sheep with fine wool. We used Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR to type the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci in the and genes within 1081 Alpine Merino sheep and associated these SNPs with wool fiber diameter. The results revealed one SNP in and , which were each related to sheep fiber diameter. The wool fiber diameters of sheep with the CC genotype in g.478807C>G and AA genotype in g.677G>A were the smallest and differed significantly from the diameters of other genotypes ( < 0.05). These results suggest potential molecular marker sites for fine-wool sheep breeding.

This study investigates the use of a local fiber, specifically milkweed that grows in Quebec, Canada, for nonwoven building applications. Milkweed is a natural fiber with an ultra-lightweight hollow structure that provides excellent acoustic and thermal insulation properties. To provide three-dimensional stability to nonwovens, milkweed fibers were blended with a low-melt fiber composed of a polyethylene terephthalate core and a polyolefin sheath (LM 2.

Objective: Wool is an important textile raw material, and fiber diameter is a major determinant of the economic value and quality of wool products. Analyses of the regulatory mechanisms underlying wool fiber diameter are necessary for the development of strategies to improve wool fineness. Therefore, we used methylationomics to analyze the skin tissue of individuals with different fiber diameters, and analyzed the apparent regulation mechanism of wool fiber diameter.

Woolen textiles have excellent warmth retention property, however, they are highly susceptible to irreversible felting shrinkage during washing. Although enzymatic anti-felting finishing provides eco-friendly advantages over chemical methods, hydrolase molecules tend to degrade the low-crystallinity components of cell membrane complex, potentially causing unacceptable fiber damages. Herein, a full enzymatic, integrated three-in-one cascade finishing strategy is proposed.

The natural functions of wool fiber, such as natural air permeability, dryness of skin contact, have advantages in the development of sports fabric. So far, the development of unidirectional moisture transfer fabric with high content wool is not yet mature. This paper novelly designed a ply yarn formed by different content of wool and nylon yarn and a double-sided knitted fabric with different wool content in the inner and outer layers based on unidirectional moisture transfer principles.

Wool fibers, commonly used in autumn-winter clothing, are prone to generating static electricity, leading to discomfort and safety concerns for wearers, thus posing a long-standing challenge for the textile industry in developing simple and effective anti-static solutions. Herein, a core-sheath yarn (CSY) is introduced, produced at a large scale (≈6 m min) through wrap spinning to transform wool's static nuisance into triboelectric energy. The CSY knitted fabric (CSYF) can simultaneously achieve excellent static elimination half-life (≈0.
