Host resistance to the Reniform Nematode (RN), Rotylenchulus reniformis Lindford and Oliveira, has been identified in diploid cottons Gossypium arboreum, G. herbaceum, and G. longicalyx (Stewart and Robbins, 1 ). Histological studies have identified two possible mechanisms of resistance: first, a darkened, necrotic syncytial cavity occurs (hypersensitive reaction); and second, a less frequent m...

UNLABELLED In this study, a comparative proteomic analysis was employed to identify fuzz fiber initiation-related proteins in wild-type diploid cotton (Gossypium arboreum L.) and its fuzzless mutant. Temporal changes in global proteomes were examined using 2-DE at five developmental time points for fuzz fiber initiation, and 71 differentially expressed protein species were identified by MS, 45 ...

The flavonoid pigments provide cotton cultivars with various shades of the naturally colored fiber. Despite deep knowledge about flavonoids biosynthesis pathway in cotton, genetic features underlying its control are not fully understood. Particularly, data on regulatory genes for proanthocyanidins (PAs) branch incomplete genus Gossypium L. Here we report results comprehensive silico analysis R2...

Production of β-ketoacyl-CoA, which is catalyzed by 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCS), is the first step in very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) biosynthesis. Here we identified 58 KCS genes from Gossypium hirsutum, 31 from G. arboreum and 33 from G. raimondii by searching the assembled cotton genomes. The gene family was divided into the plant-specific FAE1-type and the more general ELO-type. KCS tr...

Simple sequence repeat techniques were used to identify the genetic diversity of 101 Gossypium arboreum accessions collected from India, Vietnam, and the southwest of China (Guizhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces). Twenty-six pairs of SSR primers produced a total of 103 polymorphic loci with an average of 3.96 polymorphic loci per primer. The average of the effective number of alleles, Nei's ge...

ILD Gossypium anomalum Wawrs. and Peyr. among Gossypium species whas anomalous petal spot inheritance. Its petal spot involves two independently inherited genes; a ghost spot gene interacts with a spotless gene making a large anthocyanin area at the base of a petal (SILOW 1941). In the two cultivated Asiatic diploid species red petal spot involves three closely linked genesmargin. ghost spot, a...
