Genetics and Genomics of Cotton Leaf Curl Disease, Its Viral Causal Agents and Whitefly Vector: A Way Forward to Sustain Cotton Fiber Security
Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) after its first epidemic in 1912 in Nigeria, has spread to different cotton growing countries including United States, Pakistan, India, and China. The disease is of viral origin-transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, which is difficult to control because of the prevalence of multiple virulent viral strains or related species. The problem is further complica...
متن کاملCotton Leaf Curl Disease, an Emerging Whitefly Transmissible Begomovirus Complex
In recent years leaf curl disease of cotton has become a major limiting factor in the production of cotton, which is an important fiber cash crop. In the last two decades or more, leaf curl disease in cotton took on epidemic proportions in Pakistan. In the early 1990’s cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) appeared in the bordering parts of India in the states of Rajasthan and Punjab and spread to e...
متن کاملMolecular and Biochemical Characterization of Cotton Epicuticular Wax in Defense against Cotton Leaf Curl Disease
Background: Gossypium arboreum is resistant to Cotton leaf curl Burewala virus and its cognate Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuBuV and CLCuMB). However, the G. arboreum wax deficient mutant (GaWM3) is susceptible to CLCuV. Therefore, epicuticular wax was characterized both quantitatively and qualitatively for its role as physical barrier against whitefly mediated viral transmission a...
متن کامل1396 Cotton leaf curl disease
Cotton leaf curl disease is the major biotic constraint to cotton production in Pakistan and India.The disease causes unusual symptoms that include vein swelling, enations and the formation of leaf-like outgrowths. Cotton production during the 1990s was severely curtailed by CLCuD across the sub-continent. This stimulated interest in determining the aetiology and generating resistant varieties....
متن کاملCRISPR/Cas9: A Tool to Circumscribe Cotton Leaf Curl Disease
The begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) associated with cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) pose a major threat to cotton productivity in South-East Asia including Pakistan and India. These viruses have single-stranded, circular DNA genome, of ∼2800 nt in size, encapsidated in twinned icosa-hedera, transmitted by ubiquitous whitefly and are associated with satellite molecules referred to as alpha...
