Effect of Salt on Several Genotypes of Gossypium

Salinity is a common abiotic stress during the cotton growing season. Salinity stress causes a series of negative effects on cotton growth, yield, and fiber quality. Although cotton is considered as moderately sensitive to saline with a . dS m-1 threshold salinity level, its yield, quality, and seed germination are affected by different salinity levels. Therefore, identification of salt-toleran...

CottonGen: a genomics, genetics and breeding database for cotton research

CottonGen (http://www.cottongen.org) is a curated and integrated web-based relational database providing access to publicly available genomic, genetic and breeding data for cotton. CottonGen supercedes CottonDB and the Cotton Marker Database, with enhanced tools for easier data sharing, mining, visualization and data retrieval of cotton research data. CottonGen contains annotated whole genome s...

Recent insights into cotton functional genomics: progress and future perspectives

Functional genomics has transformed from futuristic concept to well-established scientific discipline during the last decade. Cotton functional genomics promise to enhance the understanding of fundamental plant biology to systematically exploit genetic resources for the improvement of cotton fibre quality and yield, as well as utilization of genetic information for germplasm improvement. Howeve...
