Identification of microRNAs and their targets in four Gossypium species using RNA sequencing
Current Plant Biology, 2018 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding endogenous riboregulators that play significant roles in plant growth, development, metabolism, defense, and stress responses. Upland cotton is best known for its economic value as natural fiber and oil. It is also

Purification and biosynthesis of cottonseed (Gossypium hirsutum L.) catalase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1988 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 ...

Identification of molecular markers associated to new sources of resistance to the root-knot nematode in cotton : S02T04 [PDF]
, 2013 The root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita is a major constraint in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in numerous countries. Control of RKN has been hampered by the lack of options for crop rotation and even more, by the lack of high ...

Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

Duplicate Gene Revolution, Homoeologous Recombination, and Transcriptome Characterization in Allopolyploid Cotton [PDF]
, 2012 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 ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.Abstract Although seed represents an important means of plant pathogen dispersion, the seed–pathogen dialogue remains largely unexplored. A multiomic approach was performed at different seed developmental stages of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) during asymptomatic colonization by Xanthomonas citri pv.
