Cotton productivity is affected by water deficit, and little is known about the molecular basis of drought tolerance in cotton. In this study, microarray analysis was conducted to identify drought-responsive genes in the third topmost leaves of the field-grown drought-tolerant cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivar Acala 1517-99 under drought stress conditions. Water stress was imposed by withholding...
Soil salinity reduces cotton growth, yield, and fiber quality and has become a serious problem in the arid southwestern region of the Unites States. Development and planting of salt-tolerant cultivars could ameliorate the deleterious effects. The objective of this study was to assess the genetic variation of salt tolerance and identify salt tolerant genotypes in a backcross inbred line (BIL) population...
Verticillium wilt (VW, Verticillium dahliae) is a worldwide destructive soil-borne fungal disease and employment of VW resistant cultivars is the most economic and efficient method in sustainable cotton production. However, information concerning VW resistance in current commercial cotton cultivars and transfer of VW resistance from Pima (Gossypium barbadense) to Upland (Gossypium hirsutum) cotton...
Numerous quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been identified from segregating hybrid populations between Upland (Gossypium hirsutum) and Pima (G. barbadense) cotton. However, the genetic basis of these QTLs is currently unknown. In the present study, an interspecific backcross inbred line (BIL) population was tested at two locations in 2005 and 2006, and used to identify and isolate polymorphic transcript-derived...
