Gossypium Hirsutum
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»

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»

Temporal and tissue expression of genes involved in buds of earliness cotton cultivar
Authors: V.G.L. Batista, M.P.N. Pinheiro, P.A. Melo Filho, R.C. Santos and L.M. Lima
Gene sequences previously identified in Arabidopsis buds were used as references in order to estimate temporal and tissue expression in buds, leaves, stem, and root tissues in cotton plants. Buds were evaluated during 3 phases: 2-8, 10-12, and 14-20 mm. Primers were designed for the ARF6, ATFY, and SEUSS genes for use in semi-quantitative reverse transcri.. Read More»

Correlations and path analysis among agronomic and technological traits of upland cotton
Authors: F.J.C. Farias, L.P. Carvalho, J.L. Silva Filho and P.E. Teodoro
To date, path analysis has been used with the aim of breeding different cultures. However, for cotton, there have been few studies using this analysis, and all of these have used fiber productivity as the primary dependent variable. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to identify agronomic and technological properties that can be used as criteria .. Read More»

Assessing genetic diversity of cotton cultivars using genomic and newly developed expressed sequence tag-derived microsatellite markers
Authors: Y. Zhang, X.F. Wang, Z.K. Li, G.Y. Zhang and Z.Y. Ma
Estimations of genetic diversity and of relationships between varieties are crucial for cotton breeding. The genetic diversity of 59 core cotton cultivars, most of which were collected from China’s main cotton-growing areas, was analyzed based on genomic and newly developed expressed sequence tag-derived microsatellite m..

Usefulness of the HMRPGV method for simultaneous selection of upland cotton genotypes with greater fiber length and high yield stability
Authors: F.J.C. Farias, L.P. Carvalho, J.L. Silva Filho and P.E. Teodoro
The harmonic mean of the relative performance of genotypic predicted value (HMRPGV) method has been used to measure the genotypic stability and adaptability of various crops. However, its use in cotton is still restricted. This study aimed to use mixed models to select cotton genotypes that simultaneously result in longer fiber length, higher fiber yield,.. Read More»

Number of repetitions for evaluating technological traits in cotton genotypes
Authors: L.P. Carvalho, F.J.C. Farias, C.L. Morello, J.I.S. Rodrigues and P.E. Teodoro
With the changes in spinning technology, technological cotton traits, such as fiber length, fiber uniformity, fiber strength, fineness, fiber maturity, percentage of fibers, and short fiber index, are of great importance for selecting cotton genotypes. However, for accurate discrimination of genotypes, it is important that these traits are evaluated with .. 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»

Biplot analysis of phenotypic stability in upland cotton genotypes in Mato Grosso
Authors: F.J.C. Farias, L.P. Carvalho, J.L. Silva Filho and P.E. Teodoro
Seed cotton yield is a trait governed by multiple genes that cause changes in the performance of genotypes depending on the cultivation environment. Breeding programs examine the genotype x environment interaction (GE) using precise statistical methods, such as AMMI (additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) and GG.. Read More»

Agronomic characterization, genetic diversity and association analysis of cotton cultivars using simple sequence repeat molecular markers
Authors: A. Kalivas, F. Xanthopoulos, O. Kehagia and A.S. Tsaftaris
Cotton is the most important textile plant in the world and is one of the most important crops for the production of oilseed. Because of its worldwide economic importance, new cultivars are constantly being released in the world and consequently in the Greek market, as Greece is the largest producer in Europe. We used simple s.. Read More»
