Development of Isogenic Restorer Line in Extra Long Staple Cotton Variety Suvin

چکیده
Cotton is the most important commercial crop of India and heterosis in cotton is well documented with 7 to 50 per cent heterosis in interspecific (G. hirsutum x G. barbadense) hybrids, 10 to 138 per cent in intra-hirsutum hybrids and upto 220 per cent in desi (G. herbaceum x G. arboreum) hybrids. Currently hybrid cotton, especially Bt cotton hybrids, occupies more than 80 per cent of cultivated area under cotton in India. Male sterility system offers tremendous advantage to produce quality hybrid seeds at affordable price so that even marginal farmers can take up hybrid cultivation. In cotton both GMS and CGMS systems are available. In cotton, two types of male sterility viz., Genic (GMS) and Cytoplasmic-Genic (CGMS) systems have been identified. Both the systems have been utilized for the commercial hybrid seed production in India and other countries. In CGMS system, the male parent of the hybrid needs to be converted into Restorer line. In cotton, Suvin is the only extra long staple G. barbadense variety available which is capable of spinning to 120 count yarn. This variety has been successfully converted into Restorer line through back cross breeding utilizing Pima Restorer as the donor parent. Suvin Restorer is found to stably restore fertility in different CMS lines of G. hirsutum. The interspecific hybrids developed using Suvin Restorer was found to combine both high yield and superior fibre quality capable of spinning upto 80 count and are comparable with conventional check hybrids.

Inheritance of the fertility restoration and genotyping of rice lines at the restoring fertility (Rf) loci using molecular markers
The combination of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in one parent and a restorer gene (Rf) to restore fertility in another are indispensable for the development of hybrid varieties. To genotype rice lines at the restoring fertility (Rf) loci, 38 lines were crossed with a sterile tester (rfrf) line. Pollen fertility test was performed to identify sterile and fertile F1 hybrids. Seven lines were ...
متن کاملGlobal analysis of gene expression in cotton fibers from wild and domesticated Gossypium barbadense.
Gossypium barbadense is widely cultivated because of its extra-long staple cotton with superior luster, silkiness and high yield. These economically important traits were selected during initial domestication of an agronomically inferior wild ancestor, followed by millennia of human-mediated selection. To reveal the effects of this history on the cotton fiber transcriptome, we conducted compara...

Class B gene APETALA3 (AP3) plays a key role in the development of petals and stamens. Here, we investigated the expression pattern of PAP3 gene (genbank accession number: HM104635) in the buds of cytoplasmic male sterility line 121A and its near-isogenic restorer line 121C at four developmental stages and analyzed the possible association between Class B genes and cytoplasmic male sterility of...

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...
متن کاملGossypium barbadense genome sequence provides insight into the evolution of extra-long staple fiber and specialized metabolites
Of the two cultivated species of allopolyploid cotton, Gossypium barbadense produces extra-long fibers for the production of superior textiles. We sequenced its genome (AD)2 and performed a comparative analysis. We identified three bursts of retrotransposons from 20 million years ago (Mya) and a genome-wide uneven pseudogenization peak at 11-20 Mya, which likely contributed to genomic divergenc...
