Authors: M. Riaz J. Farooq G. Sakhawat A. Mahmood M.A. Sadiq M. Yaseen
Research pertaining to genetic variability parameters, heritability, and genotypic, phenotypic, simple, and environmental correlations for various seedling traits in five elite advanced cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lines (FH-113, FH-114, FH-941, FH-942, and FH-2015) and one check (CIM-496) was carried out during October and November 2010 under greenhous..

Diversity and genetic structure among subpopulations of Gossypium mustelinum (Malvaceae)
Authors: M.F. Alves P.A.V. Barroso A.Y. Ciampi L.V. Hoffmann V.C.R. Azevedo U. Cavalcante
Gossypium mustelinum is the only cotton species native to Brazil; it is endemic to the semi-arid region of the northeast. The populations are found near perennial and semi-perennial sources of water, such as ponds or pools in intermittent streams. Problems with in situ conservation derive from human interference in its habitat, mainly because of excessive.. Read More»

Diversity of arthropod community in transgenic poplar-cotton ecosystems
Authors: D.J. Zhang,Z.Y. Lu,J.X. Liu,C.L. Li, M.S. Yang
Poplar-cotton agro-ecosystems are the main agricultural planting modes of plain cotton fields in China. Here, we performed a systematic survey of the diversity and population of arthropod communities in four different combination of poplar-cotton eco-systems, including I) non-transgenic poplar and non-transgenic cotton fields;..

Introgression of cotton leaf curl virus-resistant genes from Asiatic cotton (Gossypium arboreum) into upland cotton (G. hirsutum)
Authors: S. Ahmad, K. Mahmood, M. Hanif, W. Nazeer, W. Malik, A. Qayyum, K. Hanif, A. Mahmood and N. Islam
Cotton is under the constant threat of leaf curl virus, which is a major constraint for successful production of cotton in the Pakistan. A total of 3338 cotton genotypes belonging to different research stations were screened, but none were found to be resistant against the Burewala strain of cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV). We ..

Molecular characterization of the pathogenic plant fungus Rhizoctonia solani (Ceratobasidiaceae) isolated from Egypt based on protein and PCR-RAPD profiles
Authors: M.A. Mahmoud S.A. Al-Sohaibani A.M.M. Abdelbacki M.R. Al-Othman A.R.M. Abd El- Aziz K.K. Kasem M.S. Mikhail K.K. Sabet M.R. Omar E.M. Hussein
Twenty-one isolates of Rhizoctonia solani were categorized into three anastomosis groups consisting of AG-4-HG-I (eight isolates), AG-2-2 (nine isolates) and AG-5 (four isolates). Their pathogenic capacities were tested on cotton cultivar Giza 86. Pre-emergence damping-off varied in response to the different isolates; however, the differences were not signif.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression analysis of GhLOF genes in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
Authors: T.C. Dai and Z.M. Wang
Shoot branching, i.e., the timing and position of shoot growth, determines to a large extend the pattern of plant architecture, and is the result of the integration of a plant’s genetic background and environmental cues. Many genes that are involved in the formation and outgrowth of axillary buds have been cloned, but the exact mechanism is still un.. Read More»

Genetic dissection of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivars developed in Hubei Province by mapped SSRs
Authors: J.L. Tu, M.J. Zhang, X.Q. Wang, X.L. Zhang and Z.X. Lin
The genetic diversity of 51 upland cotton cultivars with different parental origins and breeding periods that were developed in Hubei Province was studied on the basis of 237 mapped simple sequence repeat markers covering the cotton genome. A total of 108 polymorphic primer pairs amplified 196 loci; the polymorphism information content range was 0.04 to 0.83.. Read More»

Molecular identification of Fusarium species isolated from transgenic insect-resistant cotton plants in Mexicali valley, Baja California
Authors: T. Gonzalez-Soto, D. Gonz�¡lez-Mendoza, R. Troncoso-Rojas, A. Morales-Trejo, C. Cece�±a-Duran, A. Garcia-Lopez and O. Grimaldo-Juarez
Cotton production in the Mexicali valley is adversely affected by wilt and root rot disease associated with Fusarium species. In the present study, we sought to isolate and identify the Fusarium species in the rhizosphere of transgenic insect-resistant cotton plants grown in the Mexicali valley. Our analyses isolated four nati.. Read More»

Introgression of genes for cotton leaf curl virus resistance and increased fiber strength from Gossypium stocksii into upland cotton (G. hirsutum)
Authors: W. Nazeer, S. Ahmad, K. Mahmood, A.L. Tipu, A. Mahmood, B. Zhou
Cotton leaf curl virus disease is a major hurdle for successful cotton production in Pakistan. There has been considerable economic loss due to this disease during the last decade. It would be desirable to have cotton varieties resistant to this disease. We explored the possibility of transferring virus resistant genes from th.. Read More»

Analysis of microbial diversity and niche in rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased cotton at the flowering stage in southern Xinjiang
Authors: F.G. Luan, L.L. Zhang, Y.Y. Lou, L. Wang, Y.N. Liu and H.Y. Zhang
Understanding how microbial community composition and diversity respond to continuous cropping obstacle is not well understood. However, determining the community composition vs assessing the diversity of molecular operational taxonomic units is often difficult. In this study, we focused on the microbial diversity and niche differentiation in rhizosphere .. Read More»
