| genes expression analyses of sea-island cotton (gossypium barbadense l.) during fiber development. | sea-island cotton (gossypium barbadense l.) is one of the most valuable cotton species due to its silkiness, luster, long staples, and high strength, but its fiber development mechanism has not been surveyed comprehensively. we constructed a normalized fiber cdna library (from -2 to 25 dpa) of g. barbadense cv. pima 3-79 (the genetic standard line) by saturation hybridization with genomic dna. we screened pima 3-79 fiber rna from five developmental stages using a cdna array including 9,126 plasm ... | 2007 | 17377794 |
| isolation and characterization of a class iii homeodomain-leucine zipper-like gene from gossypium barbadense. | class iii homeodomain-leucine zipper (hd-zip iii) genes are important plant-specific transcription factors which have key roles in different stages of vascular and interfascicular fiber differentiation. a novel hd-zip iii gene, designated gbhb1, was isolated by suppression subtraction hybridization and race (rapid amplification of cdna ends) from gossypium barbadense (sea-island cotton). the gbhb1 cdna has a total length of 3061 bp with an open reading frame of 2508 bp, encoding a predicated pol ... | 2006 | 17343206 |
| complete nucleotide sequence of the cotton (gossypium barbadense l.) chloroplast genome with a comparative analysis of sequences among 9 dicot plants. | recently, the complete chloroplast genome sequences of many important crop plants were determined, and this can be considered a major step forward toward exploiting the usefulness of chloroplast genetic engineering technology. economically, cotton is one of the most important crop plants for many countries. to further our understanding of this important crop, we determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the chloroplast genome from cotton (gossypium barbadense l.). the chloroplast genome of ... | 2006 | 17159292 |
| effects of potato plants expressing a barley cystatin on the predatory bug podisus maculiventris via herbivorous prey feeding on the plant. | the aim of this study was to assess the effects of potato plants expressing a barley cystatin on a potentially cystatin-susceptible natural enemy by predation on susceptible and non-susceptible preys feeding on the plant. we have focussed on the impact of the variant hvcpi-1 c68 --> g, in which the only cysteine residue was changed by a glycine, on the growth and digestive physiology of the colorado potato beetle (cpb), leptinotarsa decemlineata, and the egyptian cotton leafworm (ecw), spodopter ... | 2007 | 17072562 |
| genetic analysis for f1 yield traits with conditional approach in island cotton (gossypium barbadense l.). | a genetic model with additive, dominance and genotype x environment interaction effect was employed to analyze the 3-year data of f(1) hybrids from 5 x 4 diallel cross, whose parents were island cotton and had different fruit branch types. unconditional and conditional genetic variances were conducted for analyze genetic impacts of yield components on yield. results of unconditional genetic variances showed that there were no additive variance of total lint yield. but conditional additive effect ... | 2006 | 16980131 |
| isolation of 6-methoxy gossypol and 6,6'-dimethoxy gossypol from gossypium barbadense sea island cotton. | 6-methoxy gossypol and 6,6'-dimethoxy gossypol were isolated from the seeds and root bark of a st. vincent sea island variety of cotton (azk-267, grin# pi 528406). crude mixtures of gossypol and the methoxy compounds were obtained by extraction of the tissue with acetone and precipitation with acetic acid. after recrystallization, the preparations were treated with 3-amino-1-propanol to form gossypol schiff's bases, which were separated by preparative reverse phase chromatography. the separated ... | 2006 | 16637683 |
| an additive-dominance model to determine chromosomal effects in chromosome substitution lines and other gemplasms. | when using chromosome substitution (cs) lines in a crop breeding improvement program, one needs to separate the effects of the substituted chromosome from the remaining chromosomes. this cannot be done with the traditional additive-dominance (ad) model where cs lines, recurrent parent, and their hybrids are used. in this study, we develop a new genetic model and software, called a modified ad model with genotype x environment interactions, which can predict additive and dominance genetic effects ... | 2006 | 16341682 |
| genetic mapping of new cotton fiber loci using est-derived microsatellites in an interspecific recombinant inbred line cotton population. | there is an immediate need for a high-density genetic map of cotton anchored with fiber genes to facilitate marker-assisted selection (mas) for improved fiber traits. with this goal in mind, genetic mapping with a new set of microsatellite markers [comprising both simple (ssr) and complex (csr) sequence repeat markers] was performed on 183 recombinant inbred lines (rils) developed from the progeny of the interspecific cross gossypium hirsutum l. cv. tm1 x gossypium barbadense l. pima 3-79. micro ... | 2005 | 16187061 |
| cleaved aflp (caflp), a modified amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis for cotton. | in certain plant species including cotton (gossypium hirsutum l. or gossypium barbadense l.), the level of amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) is relatively low, limiting its utilization in the development of genome-wide linkage maps. we propose the use of frequent restriction enzymes in combination with aflp to cleave the aflp fragments, called cleaved aflp analysis (caflp). using four upland cotton genotypes (g. hirsutum) and three pima cotton (g. barbadense), we demonstrated that ca ... | 2005 | 16133304 |

| isolation and characterization of an iaa-responsive gene from gossypium barbadense l. | the full-length cdna of an iaa-responsive gene was cloned from gossypium barbadense l. (designated as gbiaa-re) by rapid amplification of cdna ends (race). gbiaa-re gene was 1043-bp long and contained a 573-bp open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 190 amino acid residues. homology analysis revealed that gbiaa-re strongly resembled known plant iaa-responsive genes. the conserved integrated domain "aux_iaa, aux/iaa family" resided within the region from l11, to v190 of gbiaa-re, and the 4 t ... | 2004 | 15354358 |
| costs of resistance: genetic correlations and potential trade-offs in an insect immune system. | theory predicts that natural selection will erode additive genetic variation in fitness-related traits. however, numerous studies have found considerable heritable variation in traits related to immune function, which should be closely linked to fitness. this could be due to trade-offs maintaining variation in these traits. we used the egyptian cotton leafworm, spodoptera littoralis, as a model system to examine the quantitative genetics of insect immune function. we estimated the heritabilities ... | 2004 | 15009275 |
| genetic mapping and qtl analysis of fiber-related traits in cotton ( gossypium). | cotton, the leading natural fiber crop, is largely produced by two primary cultivated allotetraploid species known as upland or american cotton ( gossypium hirsutum l.) and pima or egyptian cotton ( g. barbadense l.). the allotetraploid species diverged from each other and from their diploid progenitors (a or d genome) through selection and domestication after polyploidization. to analyze cotton ad genomes and dissect agronomic traits, we have developed a genetic map in an f2 population derived ... | 2004 | 14513220 |
| localization of qtls for yield and fiber quality traits of tetraploid cotton cultivar. | using ssr and rapd as molecular markers, and the 69 f2 families from a cross between handan208 (gossypium hirsutum) and pima90 (gossypium barbadense) as a mapping population, a linkage map comprising 126 markers was constructed. with an average spacing 13.7 cm between markers, the linkage map spanned 1,717.0 cm, which covers approximately 34.34% of the total recombinational length of cotton genome. based on the linkage map and the f2:3 phenotypic data, overall genome qtl screening was conducted ... | 2003 | 12924159 |

| [studies of fish and karyotype of gossypium barbadense]. | based on the fluorescent in situ hybridization (fish) of somatic chromosome of gossypium barbadense with the probe of genomic dna (gdna) of gossypium arboreum, two sets of chromosomes were easily distinguished by signals hybridized or not. the fish directly proved that g. barbadense originated from two different diploid species, but was not in concordance with the former point that every chromosome of a sub-genome of tetraploid species was bigger than that of other sub-genome (d genome). the kar ... | 2001 | 11209715 |
| ozone impacts on allometry and root hydraulic conductance are not mediated by source limitation nor developmental age. | o(3)could reduce growth and carbohydrate allocation to roots by direct inhibition of photosynthesis and source strength. alternatively, o(3) could reduce growth indirectly by inhibition of root hydraulic development through a primary lesion in carbohydrate translocation. another alternative is that o(3) could slow the rate of plant development, only apparently altering carbohydrate allocation at a given plant age. pima cotton (gossypium barbadense l.) is used to address these possibilities, and ... | 2000 | 10948218 |
| effect of kinetin concentration and methods of application on seed germination, yield components, yield and fiber properties of the egyptian cotton (gossypium barbadense). | two field experiments in 1993 and 1994 as well as a laboratory germination experiment were conducted on the egyptian cotton cultivar giza 75 (gossypium barbadense) to determine the effect of six concentrations of kinetin (6-furfurylaminopurine) ranging from 0 to 10.0 mg l(-1) and three different methods of application: (a) seeds were soaked for 24 h before germination (laboratory experiment) or sowing (field experiment) in solutions of different kinetin concentration, (b) cotton plants were spra ... | 2000 | 10927129 |
