cotton defense induction patterns under spatially, temporally and quantitatively varying herbivory levels.	in its defense against herbivores, cotton (gossypium sp.) relies in part on the production of a set of inducible, non-volatile terpenoids. under uniform damage levels, in planta allocation of induced cotton terpenoids has been found to be highest in youngest leaves, supporting assumptions of the optimal defense theory (odt) which predicts that plants allocate defense compounds to tissues depending on their value and the likelihood of herbivore attack. however, our knowledge is limited on how var ...	2017	28270830
a novel gossypium barbadense erf transcription factor, gberfb, regulation host response and resistance to verticillium dahliae in tobacco.	ethylene-responsive factors (erfs) are commonly considered to play an important role in pathogen defense responses. however, only few of erf members have been characterized in sea island cotton (gossypium barbadense). here, we reported a novel ap2/erf transcription factors gene, named gberfb which was cloned and identified from sea island cotton by race. the expression of gberfb was significantly induced by treatments with ethylene, methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid, wounding, h2o2 and verticilli ...	2017	28250589
genetic diversity among exotic cotton accessions as for qualitative and quantitative traits.	studying genetic diversity among a group of genotypes is important in genetic breeding because identifying hybrid combinations of greater heterotic effect also increases the chance of obtaining plants with favorable allele combinations in an intra-population selection program. the objective of this study was to compare different types of long and extra-long staple cotton and their genetic diversity in relation to the fiber traits and some agronomic traits in order to grant breeding programs. div ...	2017	28198514
genetic dissection of the fuzzless seed trait in gossypium barbadense.	cotton fibres are single-celled trichomes arising from the epidermal cells of the seed coat and may be either long (lint) or very short (fuzz). the dominant fuzzless n1 of gossypium hirsutum is a defective allele of the at-subgenome homoeolog of myb25-like, but the genetic components underlying the recessive fuzzless trait from g. barbadense (gb) are unknown. we have identified five genetic loci, including a major contributing locus containing myb25-like_dt, associated with gb fuzzless seeds bas ...	2018	29351643
