Estimation of the Nuclear DNA Content of Gossypium Species [PDF]
Gossypium is an economically important, globally distributed taxon comprising more than 50 species. DNA content estimates from about half of the species indicate over a 3-fold variation exists. However, the nine DNA content estimates for G. hirsutum reveal over a 2-fold difference for this species alone.

Understanding the relationship between domesticated crop species and their wild relatives is paramount to germplasm maintenance and the utilization of wild relatives in breeding programs. Recently, Gossypium ekmanianum was resurrected as an independent species based on morphological analysis of specimens obtained from the Dominican Republic, where the ...

Analysis of complete nucleotide sequences of 12 Gossypium chloroplast genomes: origin and evolution of allotetraploids. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is a model system for the analysis of polyploidization. Although ascertaining the donor species of allotetraploid cotton has been intensively studied, sequence comparison of Gossypium chloroplast genomes is still of ...

Abstract Background Plant responses to deficiencies of the micronutrient boron are diverse and go beyond the well‐characterized function of boron in cell wall crosslinking. To explain these phenotypic discrepancies, hypotheses about interactions of boron with various phytohormones have been proposed, particularly auxin.

Transcription factors and molecular markers revealed asymmetric contributions between allotetraploid Upland cotton and its two diploid ancestors [PDF]
Three Gossypium species have been used to breed cotton as they vary in their fiber production and resistance to stresses. Transcription factors (TFs) mostly are present in different copies or isoforms by which they conduct their regulation.

Molecular Evolution and Expansion of the KUP Family in the Allopolyploid Cotton Species Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense [PDF]
The comprehensive analysis of gene family evolution will elucidate the origin and evolution of gene families. The K+ uptake (KUP) gene family plays important roles in K+ uptake and transport, plant growth and development, and abiotic stress responses. However, the current understanding of the KUP family in cotton is limited.

The cotton centromere contains a Ty3-gypsy-like LTR retroelement. [PDF]
The centromere is a repeat-rich structure essential for chromosome segregation; with the long-term aim of understanding centromere structure and function, we set out to identify cotton centromere sequences. To isolate centromere-associated sequences from

Identification of a genome-specific repetitive element in the Gossypium D genome [PDF]
The activity of genome-specific repetitive sequences is the main cause of genome variation between Gossypium A and D genomes. Through comparative analysis of the two genomes, we retrieved a repetitive element termed ICRd motif, which appears frequently ...
