Purification and biosynthesis of cottonseed (Gossypium hirsutum L.) catalase [PDF]
As part of our research on peroxisome biogenesis, catalase was purified from cotyledons of dark-grown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seedlings and monospecific antibodies were raised in rabbits. Purified catalase appeared as three distinct electrophoretic forms in non-denaturing gels and as a single protein band (with a subunit Mr of 57,000) on silver ...

Evaluation of genetic diversity in short duration cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
BackgroundCotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important fiber crop in Bangladesh. Genetic diversity among the genotypes of a germplasm has a great importance for cotton breeding. An experiment was carried out at the experimental field of Cotton Research,

ABSTRACT Flower colour variation is pivotal for plant evolution, ecological adaptation, and pollinator attraction. In the Liriodendron genus, L. tulipifera features a distinct orange petal stripe which is absent in L. chinense, driven by differential carotenoid accumulation, yet the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear.

Duplicate Gene Revolution, Homoeologous Recombination, and Transcriptome Characterization in Allopolyploid Cotton [PDF]
Modern allotetraploid cotton contains an “A” and “D” genome from an ancestral polyploidy event that occurred approximately 1–2 million years ago. Diploid A- and D-genome species can be compared to the A- and D-genomes found within these allotetraploids ...

Genome-wide analysis of GRAS transcription factor gene family in Gossypium hirsutum L.
BackgroundCotton is a major fiber and oil crop worldwide. Cotton production, however, is often threatened by abiotic environmental stresses. GRAS family proteins are among the most abundant transcription factors in plants and play important roles in ...

Genetic Mapping and Functional Characterisation of GhCUP Regulating Leaf Curling in Cotton
ABSTRACT Leaf size and shape are crucial traits affecting photosynthesis. Moderate leaf curling is believed to be beneficial to photosynthesis because upright leaves are ideal for building a canopy structure with reduced shaded areas to improve light penetration and ventilation.

Genes Duplicated by Polyploidy Show Unequal Contributions to the Transcriptome and Organ-Specific Reciprocal Silencing [PDF]
Most eukaryotes have genomes that exhibit high levels of gene redundancy, much of which seems to have arisen from one or more cycles of genome doubling.

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Allozyme Diversity and lntrogression in the Galapagos Islands Endemic Gossypium datwinii and its Relationship to Continental G. barbadense [PDF]
Gossypium darwinii Watt is a tetraploid cotton endemic to the Galapagos Islands. Opinion has been divided as to whether or not it deserves recognition at the specific rank, with some considering it a variety of its presumed progenitor, the widely ...
