Domesticated cotton species provide raw material for the majority of the world's textile industry. Two independent domestication events have been identified in allopolyploid cotton, one in Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and the other to Egyptian cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.). However, two diploid cotton species, Gossypium arboreum L. and Gossypium herbaceum L., have been cultivated fo...

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...

Plant growth regulators such as mepiquat chloride (MC) and chlormequat (CCC) are used to establish the balance between vegetative generative in cotton. This study was conducted compare different doses application time of CCC with MC un-treatment (control). The seven treatments including control (non-treatment), T1 (three sprays chloride), T2 (two T3 (0.4 L ha-1 CCC), T4 (0.5 T5 (0.6 CCC) T6 (0....
