MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small 20-24nt molecules that have been well studied over the past decade due to their important regulatory roles in different cellular processes. The mature sequences are more conserved across vast phylogenetic scales than their precursors and some are conserved within entire kingdoms, hence, their loci and function can be predicted by homology searches. Different studies...

Nine sources of resistance to Rotylenchulus reniformis in Gossypium (cotton) were tested by measuring population density (Pf) and root-length density 0 to 122 cm deep. A Pf in the plow layer less than the autumn sample treatment threshold used by consultants was considered the minimum criterion for acceptable resistance, regardless of population density at planting (Pi). Other criteria were amp...

The history of cotton (Gossypium sp), which has become along past millennia a plant major economic interest, relies on the dried or charred seeds found in archaeobotanical assemblages. Our capacity to document dispersal routes cotton, however, is hampered by lack taxonomic resolution at specific levels based current seed anatomic features. In order explore signal interspecific level seeds, and ...

Abstract Background In plants, 14-3-3 proteins, also called GENERAL REGULATORY FACTORs (GRFs), encoded by a large multigene family, are involved in protein–protein interactions and play crucial roles various physiological processes. No genome-wide analysis of the GRF gene family has been performed cotton, their functions flowering largely unknown. Results this study, 17, 31, 17 genes were ident...

Abstract Background GASA (Giberellic Acid Stimulated in Arabidopsis ) gene family plays a crucial role the phytohormone signaling pathway, growth and development, stress responses plants. Many homologs have been identified various Nevertheless, little is known about these proteins cotton. Results In current study, we 19, 17, 25, 33, 38 genes via genome-wide analyses of Gossypium herbaceum , G. ...
