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 ...

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 ...

SOME EFFECTS OF ZINC ON SEVERAL SPECIES OF GOSSYPIUM L [PDF]
The determination of the factors which are operative among the plants of a genus in the establishment of specific differences constitutes one of the interesting problems of biology. There are numerous approaches to this problem, but one approach which seemed particularly germane to the writers concerned the effect of zinc upon the general growth and ...

Cotton is an important economic crop worldwide; its fiber, commonly known as cotton lint, is the main natural source for the textile industry. Sixty chloroplast microsatellites were identified and characterized from the complete sequence of the Gossypium hirsutum chloroplast genome using a bioinformatic approach.
