Inheritance of cleistogamy in interspecific hybridization of Gossypium barbadense L.

Gene Flow between Gossypium hirsutum L. and Gossypium barbadense L. is Asymmetric

As both Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) and Acala (Upland; G. hirsutum L.) are grown in the southwestern United States, understanding gene fl ow within and among these species is important to maintain genetic purity. In small scale and commercial fi elds, gene fl ow decreased exponentially from 1.44% at 1 m to less than 0.50% at 10 m in Acala cotton. Corresponding values for Pima cotton w...

Bioinformatics Analysis of Small RNAs in Pima (Gossypium barbadense L.)

Small RNAs (sRNAs) are ~20 to 24 nucleotide single-stranded RNAs that play crucial roles in regulation of gene expression. In plants, sRNAs are classified into microRNAs (miRNAs), repeat-associated siRNAs (ra-siRNAs), phased siRNAs (pha-siRNAs), cis and trans natural antisense transcript siRNAs (cis- and trans-nat siRNAs). Pima (Gossypium barbadense L.) is one of the most economically important...

Isolation and Characterization of Genes Differentially Expressed in Fiber of Gossypium barbadense L

Estimation of genetic parameters for quantitative and qualitative traits in cotton cultivars (Gossypium hirsutum L. & Gossypium barbadense L.) and new scaling test of additive– dominance model

A complete diallel cross of nine cotton genotypes (Gossypium hirsutum L. & Gossypium barbadense L.) viz Delinter, Sindose-80, Omoumi, Bulgare-539, Termez-14, Red leaf (Native species), B-557, Brown fiber and Siokra-324 having diverse genetic origins was conducted over two years to determine the potential for the improvement of yield, its components, oil and fiber qual...

The Genetics of Flowering Response in Cotton. II. Inheritance of Flowering Response in a Gossypium Barbadense Cross.

N the first paper of this series, LEWIS and RICHMOND (1957) called attention I to the renewed scientific interest in the introduction of cotton stocks from tropical centers of variability and reviewed the collecting expeditions that have been made to Mexico and Central America in recent years. More than half of the collected stocks failed to set fruit in the temperate zone during the summer whi...
