Correlation among traits as criterion of cotton genotypes indirect selection
Authors: MC Reis, DBO Cardoso, EG Silva J�ºnior, BC Gomes, LTG Pereira, DA Gomes and LB Sousa.
The cotton crop has notable importance for Brazilian and worldwide economy. Relationships knowledge among characters allows developing alternatives that increase the genetic progress with simultaneous selection of several traits. The use of correlation estimates for use in indirect selection helps the breeder in the selection .. Read More»

Cotton genotypes selection through artificial neural networks
Authors: E.G. Silva J�ºnior, D.B.O. Cardoso, M.C. Reis, A.F.O. Nascimento, D.I. Bortolin, M.R. Martins and L.B. Sousa
Breeding programs currently use statistical analysis to assist in the identification of superior genotypes at various stages of a cultivar’s development. Differently from these analyses, the computational intelligence approach has been little explored in genetic improvement of cotton. Thus, this study was carried out wit.. Read More»

Evaluation of genotype x environment interactions in cotton using the method proposed by Eberhart and Russell and reaction norm models
Authors: R.S. Alves, P.E. Teodoro, F.C. Farias, F.J.C. Farias, L.P. Carvalho, J.I.S. Rodrigues, L.L. Bhering and M.D.V. Resende
Cotton produces one of the most important textile fibers of the world and has great relevance in the world economy. It is an economically important crop in Brazil, which is the world’s fifth largest producer. However, studies evaluating the genotype x environment (G x E) interactions in cotton are scarce in this country... Read More»

Diallel analysis for agronomic traits in upland cotton in semi-arid zones in Brazil
Authors: D.R. Queiroz, F.J.C. Farias, J.J.C. Vasconcelos, L.P. Carvalho, D.G. Neder, L.S.S. Souza, F.C. Farias and P.E. Teodoro
This study aimed to estimate the general- (GCA) and specific-combining ability (SCA) and obtain information on the genetic control of agronomic traits among six upland cotton genotypes and their hybrid combinations. In 2015, six cotton genotypes (FM 993, CNPA 04-2080, PSC 355, TAM B 139-17, IAC 26, and TAMCOT-CAMD-E), and fift.. Read More»

Investigation on possible occurrence of somaclonal effects in zygotic and embryonic cotton structures based on agronomical traits
Authors: T.C. Soares, J.M.F.C. Carvalho, L.M. Lima, R.M.M. Freire,C.R.C. Silva, P.A. Melo Filho and R.C. Santos
Zygotic and embryonic cotton structures were used in in vitro procedures to obtain stable plants. Zygotes (24, 48, and 72 h) and immature embryos (10 and 25 days after fertilization) were grown in MS medium supplemented with glucose, indoleacetic acid, kinetin, and activated charcoal. Regenerated seedlings were acclimatized an.. Read More»

Identification of RNA editing sites in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) chloroplasts and editing events that affect secondary and three-dimensional protein structures
Authors: Y. Jiang, S.L. Fan, M.Z. Song, J.N. Yu and S.X. Yu
RNA editing can alter individual nucleotides in primary transcripts, which can cause the amino acids encoded by edited RNA to deviate from the ones predicted from the DNA template. We investigated RNA editing sites of protein-coding genes from the chloroplast genome of cotton. Fifty-four editing sites were identified in 27 tra.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression analysis of five GhRAXs in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
Authors: T.C. Dai and Z.M. Wang
The formation of axillary meristems in leaf axils is a prerequisite for the development of lateral shoots, which largely contribute to plant architecture. Several transcription factor-encoding genes, including CUC3, RAX, LAS, LOF1, and ROX, have been cloned by screening for axillary meristem mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana. Th.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis in Opal cotton hybrids based on SSR, ISSR, and RAPD markers
Authors: Z. Noormohammadi Y. Hasheminejad-Ahangarani Farahani M. Sheidai S. Ghasemzadeh-Baraki O. Alishah
Cotton is one of the most economically important crops in Iran; hybridization is a means to increase the genetic diversity and obtain new elite cultivars in this crop. We examined agronomic characteristics and molecular genetic diversity in the Opal cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivar and in F2 progenies. Ten homo-primers and seven hetero-primers of 26 RAPD..

Antisense expression of Gossypium hirsutum UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase in Arabidopsis leads to changes in cell wall components
Authors: D.M. Zhang1*, Y.X. Pan2*, Y. Zhang1, Z.K. Li1, L.Q. Wu1, H.W. Liu1, G.Y. Zhang1, X.F. Wang1 and Z.Y. Ma1
UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase (UDP-xylose synthase; UXS, EC 4.1.1.35) is an essential enzyme of the non-cellulosic polysaccharide biosynthetic pathway. In the present study, using transient expression of fluorescently labeled Gossypium hirsutum UXS (GhUXS3) protein in onion epidermal cells, we observed that this protein was distributed in the cytoplasm. T.. Read More»

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 ..
