Genetic Diversity in Gossypium genus

چکیده
Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the unique, most important natural fiber crop in the world that brings significant economic income, with an annual average ranging from $27 – 29 billion worldwide from lint fiber production (Campbell et al., 2010). The worldwide economic impact of the cotton industry is estimated at ~$500 billion/yr with an annual utilization of ~115-million bales or ~27-million metric tons (MT) of cotton fiber (Chen et al., 2007). In 2011 and 2012, global cotton production is projected to increase 8% (to 26.9 million MT). This will be the largest crop since 2004 and 2005 (International Cotton Advisory Committee [ICAC], 2011).

THE ORIgIn anD EvOlUTIOn OF GOSSYPIUM
The genus Gossypium has a long history of taxonomic and evolutionary study. Much of this attention has been stimulated by the fact that the genus includes four domesticated species, the New World allopolyploids G. hirsutum and G. barbadense (2n = 52), and the Old World diploids G. arboreum and G. herbaceum (2n = 26). These cultivated species embody considerable genetic diversity, but this diver...
متن کاملEvaluation of genetic diversity of Avicenniaceae family in Indian sundarban by using RAPD and ISSR markers
The present investigation was undertaken to describe the relationships among species of Avicenniaceae family which have both economic and medicinal activities, collected in Indian Sundarban by the help of RAPD and ISSR markers. In this study, three different species of Avicennia genus were collected. Frozen young leaves (-200C) were taken to isolate the genomic DNA using a slightly modified CTA...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of Neotyphodium fungal endophytes in three Iranian grass species using AFLP molecular markers
Genetic diversity of fungal endophytes, Neotyphodium species, was studied in grasses Festuca arundinacea, F. pratensis and Lolium perenne using AFLP markers. Fungi were isolated from the host leaf sheaths and Neotyphodium species were selected based on morphological characteristics. To confirm identity of selected fungi belonging to the genus Neotyphodium, polymerase chain reaction was perform...
متن کاملLow levels of nucleotide diversity at homoeologous Adh loci in allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium L.).
Levels of genetic diversity within and among populations and species are shaped by both external (population-level) and internal (genomic and genic) evolutionary forces. To address the effect of internal pressures, we estimated nucleotide diversity for a pair of homoeologous Adh loci in an allotetraploid species, Gossypium hirsutum. These data represent the first such estimates for a pair of ho...
متن کاملGenome-wide divergence, haplotype distribution and population demographic histories for Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense as revealed by genome-anchored SNPs
Use of 10,129 singleton SNPs of known genomic location in tetraploid cotton provided unique opportunities to characterize genome-wide diversity among 440 Gossypium hirsutum and 219 G. barbadense cultivars and landrace accessions of widespread origin. Using the SNPs distributed genome-wide, we examined genetic diversity, haplotype distribution and linkage disequilibrium patterns in the G. hirsut...
