Carl M. Lyman and his associates made highly significant contributions to the development of basic and applied knowledge of gossypol and gossypol‐like pigments and their relationship to the utilization of cottonseed protein. Included among their studies were investigations of physiological activity, effect upon protein quality for monogastric animal nutrition, elimination and inactivation, biosynthesis of gossypol in the cotton root, isolation and characterization of a previously unidentified gossypol‐like compound, and ration formulation procedures for efficient feeding of both glanded and glandless cottonseed protein.
