Genetic diversity of sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) revealed by mapped SSRs
Authors: X.Q. Wang, C.H. Feng, Z.X. Lin and X.L. Zhang
In order to evaluate the genetic diversity of sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense), 237 commonly mapped SSR markers covering the cotton genome were used to genotype 56 sea-island cotton accessions. A total of 218 polymorphic primer pairs (91.98%) amplified 361 loci, with a mean of 1.66 loci. Polymorphism information conten.. Read More»

The Candida albicans AAA ATPase homologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rix7p (YLL034c) is essential for proper morphology, biofilm formation and activity of secreted aspartyl proteinases
Authors: A.S.A. Melo, A.C.B. Padovan, R.C. Serafim, L. Puzer, A.K. Carmona, L. Juliano Neto, A. Brunstein and M.R.S. Briones
Proper morphology is essential for the ability of Candida albicans to switch between yeast and hyphae and thereby sustain its virulence. Here we identified, by differential screening, a novel C. albicans AAA ATPase encoding gene, CaYLL34 (RIX7), with enhanced expression in hyphae. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that CaYLL34 be..

Collinearity analysis of allotetraploid Gossypium tomentosum and Gossypium darwinii
Authors: F. Liu, Z.L. Zhou, C.Y. Wang, Y.H. Wang, X.Y. Cai, X.X. Wang, K.B. Wang and Z.S. Zhang
Gossypium tomentosum and G. darwinii are wild allotetraploid cotton species, characterized by many excellent traits, including fiber fineness, drought tolerance, and Fusarium and Verticillium wilt resistance. Based on the construction of F2 linkage groups of G. hirsutum x G. tomentosum and G. hirsutum x G. darwinii, two genetic linkage maps were compared... Read More»

Methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism analysis of Verticillium wilt-stressed cotton (Gossypium)
Authors: W. Wang, M. Zhang, H.D. Chen, X.X. Cai, M.L. Xu, K.Y. Lei, J.H. Niu, L. Deng, J. Liu, Z.J. Ge, S.X. Yu and B.H. Wang
In this study, a methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism analysis system was used to analyze DNA methylation level in three cotton accessions. Two disease-sensitive near-isogenic lines, PD94042 and IL41, and one disease-resistant Gossypium mustelinum accession were exposed to Verticillium wilt, to investigate molecula.. Read More»

Impacts of transgenic poplar-cotton agro-ecosystems upon target pests and non-target insects under field conditions
Authors: D.J. Zhang, J.X. Liu, Z.Y. Lu, C.L. Li, E. Comada and M.S. Yang
Poplar-cotton agro-ecosystems are the main agricultural planting modes of cotton fields in China. With increasing acres devoted to transgenic insect-resistant poplar and transgenic insect-resistant cotton, studies examining the effects of transgenic plants on target and non-target insects become increasingly important. We systematically surveyed populatio.. Read More»

Genetic gains from selection for fiber traits in Gossypium hirsutum L.
Authors: G.M.P. de Faria, C.F.B. Sanchez, L.P. de Carvalho, M. da Silva Oliveira and C.D. Cruz
Brazil is among the five largest producers of cotton in the world, cultivating the species Gossypium hirsutum L. r. latifolium Hutch. The cultivars should have good fiber quality as well as yield. Genetic improvement of fiber traits requires the study of the genetic structure of the populations under improvement, leading to th.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of Bt cotton genotypes in Pakistan using simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: I. Ullah, A. Iram, M.Z. Iqbal, M. Nawaz, S.M. Hasni and S. Jamil
The popularity of genetically modified insect resistant (Bt) cotton has promoted large scale monocultures, which is thought to worsen the problem of crop genetic homogeneity. Information on genetic diversity among Bt cotton varieties is lacking. We evaluated genetic divergence among 19 Bt cotton genotypes using simple sequence.. Read More»

Polymorphism analysis of multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) populations of upland cotton developed in China
Authors: D.G. Li, Z.X. Li, J.S. Hu, Z.X. Lin and X.F. Li
Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important cash crop that provides renewable natural fiber worldwide. Currently limited genetic base leads to a decrease in upland cotton genetic diversity. Multi-parent advance generation inter-cross (MAGIC) populations can be used to evaluate complex agronomic traits in crops. In th.. Read More»

Mixed inheritance in the genetic control of ramulosis (Colletotrichum gossypii var. cephalosporioides) resistance in cotton
Authors: M.A.C. Oliveira, J.B. Duarte, C.L. Morello, N.D. Suassuna and A.B. Oliveira
Ramulosis is one of the most aggressive diseases in cotton, and understanding the genetic control of its resistance is imperative for selecting superior cotton genotypes in breeding programs. This study analyzed the inheritance pattern of this resistance using chi-square goodness-of-fit tests to determine the phenotypic proportions of the F2 generation, and .. Read More»

Molecular cloning and analysis of a receptor-like promoter of Gbvdr3 gene in sea island cotton
Authors: B.-J. Zhang, H.-P. Zhang, Q.-Z. Chen, N. Tang, L.-K. Wang, R.-F. Wang and B.-L. Zhang
Verticillium wilt caused by soil borne fungus Verticillium dahliae could significantly reduce cotton yield. The Ve1 homologous gene Gbvdr3 is resistant to Verticillium wilt. In order to understand of the function of the promoter Gbvdr3 in Gossypium barbadense, the promoter region of the receptor-like gene Gbvdr3 was obtained b.. Read More»
