Development of Molecular Markers to Distinguish Cytoplasm Substitution Lines of Cotton
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditionally breeders and geneticists alike have used morphological characteristics or phenotype to distinguish various genotypes/cultivars. However, with the advent of cytoplasmic capture, phenotyping can become difficult, if not impossible. Through this process, lines with new cytoplasms (alloplasmic lines) differ in their cytoplasmic material but have the same nuclear DNA. Since nuclear DNA is the primary basis of heredity, notable morphological differences may not be seen, thus making phenotype selection difficult or impossible. In recent years, molecular measures have provided a sensitive and reliable means to identify diversity among genotypes. Both geneticists and plant breeders have come to rely on marker assisted selection (MAS) as a proven and powerful tool for screening and selection. The objective of this project is to develop molecular markers for chloroplastic or mitochondrial DNA, as a means to identify different cytoplasm substitution lines.

Determination of genetic uniformity in transgenic cotton plants using DNA markers (RAPD and ISSR) and SDS-PAGE
One concern about using transgenic plants is the genetic variation that occurred from theirs tissue culture and regeneration. Molecular markers are an important element for efficient and effective determination of genetic variation. The present work was carried out to assess the genetic uniformity of transgenic cottons (Bt and chitinase lines), using RAPD, ISSR molecular markers and SDS-PAGE an...
متن کاملInheritance 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 کاملIDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO LEAF CURL VIRUS DISEASE RESISTANCE IN COTTON
The identification of molecular markers linked to leaf curl virus (CLCuV) disease resistance in cotton has the potential to improve both the efficiency and the efficacy of selection in cotton breeding programs. Genetic analysis suggested that CLCuV resistance is controlled by a single dominant gene. In this study, an interspecific F2 population derived from a cross of Gossypium barbadense and G...

Background: In plant breeding program to produce hybrid varieties, pair of male sterile and restorer fertility lines are required. Differentiation of lines possessing restorer fertility allele from the lines lacking it remove the need for the progeny test, and thus reducing the time and the cost in the hybrid production procedure. Canola breeding program in Iran has concentrate...
